Disc Read error

Place an empty disc in, format the disc, record a little scene. Turn off camcorder. Place the error disc in the camcorder, turn on the camcorder all the way to play/edit. If this doesn't work turn it to record and try to record. Worked for some of my error disc

I would suggest you try cleaning the disc with a soft cloth, wipe from center outwards. Check for scratches, dust, dirt, use small amount of water if required. Also try cleaning the lens pickup in the camera. The disc should read without finalize process in the same camcorder it was recorded in. If you still cannot get it to read, I would suggest a video transfer service may be able to recover the data. Call
888.451.2220http://www.apmstudio.com/ would be just one example of these services. Look locally first, they may be able to read the disc for you.

Randy,

I had a dvd-r disc recorded from a Philips dvd recorder that had not yet been finalized when the Philips went bezerk and died. I replaced it with the Sony GX300 and just for an experiment, tried to finalize it in the Sony

It worked. Not to say that it has to work with only THIS combination of the 2 same dvd recorders or twisting the scenario around with the Sony doing the recording and the Philips doing the finalizing. I also have a Sony dvd/vcr recorder to compliment the GX300. I will have to record a disc on the GX300 and try to finalize it with the combo unit to see if it will do well as a back up.

Right now a disc that is not full yet (home movie from my kids birth) is reading "Disc Error" on the GX300. I may have to do it over or see if the combo unit will do the same finalizing as the GX300. It doesn't have the amount of features that the GX300 has but thats what you get with a combo unit vs. a stand alone recorder/player.

If you know someone with another recorder, try to finalize on it. If not , you could find someone on this sight that has a GX300 and mail the discs plus a smalll fee and have them mailed back. Or you could find a used one cheap at some store and return it if it doesn't finalize.

Good luck

go here

what do you mean the power went out if it did while the disc was burning then the disc is now a coaster (no good)

to clear "error 14", press the "display" button on the remote control - this has worked every time my toshiba has an error 14 message

There's no way you can continue the finalization of the disc, the disc has been marked as finalized already, even a single power fluctuation when you are using ac power adaptor can affect the disc finalizing process, so it is better to use battery when disc finalizing

CALL SONY!!! I assume this is a new product and is under warrenty
