With a soft cloth, clean the 'hole' area of a DVD that you know worked in the past. Sometimes oils from our fingers get on the disc and then the disk can't spin properly. If the problem persists, open the case and look for two failed capacitors. (See similar solutions on this website.)

The disc is scratched or dirty. Try cleaning the disc with a proprietary disc cleaning cloth/fluid/kit.

Place the disc back in the computer, open the program that burned the disk and finalize the disc, once finalized it should work in any dvr

My Panasonic Recorder DMR-ES10, will not play discs sent to me from the U/K,
using a L.G dr275 recorder, onto a DVD+R disc, how can i overcome this problem. regards Tom Escott.

Turn off for half hour and then try it.....If u have warranty then claim it...

The DMR-ES15 is a later model (around 2006/07) than the DMR-E50 (2003/04), but essentially both should do the same job so technically - a good equivalent in terms of recording and same brand so yes. The connections on the rear (of the replacement recorder) should suit and work with your other devices just as the old one did.

According to some other online reviews, the DMR-E50 has had a few issues with recording, and finalizing certain discs.

I'd say go for it - accept the replacement - as long as it comes with some kind of guarantee, works fully and has all the accessories (including remote, instructions etc.) you should be good. Contact the store and seal the deal.

I hope you can get this in time for Christmas.

Pan. DMR-ES15 I WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ANY DISC I PUT IN. WILL NOT PLAY A COMMERCIAL DVD MOVIE. SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED WHEN IT COULDN'T FINALIZE A RECORDED DISC. HOW TO RESET?

Just unplug it and let it sit for half an hour. Then try playing the lens cleaner disc, the problem would be fixed....
