My DVD recorder will not recognize any of my DVDs. Every time I try to play a DVD it just says "NO DISC." It will not even try to load. What should I do?

I have the same problem.

My Gateway AR-230 recorded several disks from VHS tapes sucessfully. The next disk I put in I recorded some VHS onto then turned the unit off to resume later. When I turned it back on it would not recognize the disk. I could not "finalize" the disk as the AR=230 could not read it, it just put onto the screen to insert a disk! I put in a new disk and the screen read it and put "infalid disk" I called Gateway and they had me reset the unit. That did not help. Any suggestions?

I contacted Gateway and found out that the AR-230 will not work with anything more than 4x DVD's. Usually it will format DVD-RW's. Usually any cheep brand will work.
