I have Sansui model # VRDVD4005 DVD-RW recorder and VCR. I have used Memorex DVD-RW discs to record in the past. I purchased a multi-pack of Memorex DVD-RW discs at Walmart and when I try to use any of the discs I get an error message Incorrect disc C-104. Why would this happen?

Sounds like the disc needs to be finalised to close the session...put the disc in and look for this in the disc option menu's

DVD+R Disc or DVD+RW Disc.The DVD+RW Disc can be recorded over the old recording.The DVD+R Disc are one time recording deal only.

Hope this helps.

Your model is a DVD player only and has no recording capability. There are devices that will allow you to transfer your VHS tapes to a computer equipped with a CD/DVD writer to preserve them on disk.
Tevion is one make that comes to mind.

I have the same machine and I've used Memorex DVD-RW 2X/4.7gb/120min dvd's for a long time. The newer ones at Officemax are 4x, 8x, 16x and 52x they won't work. I think they have to be 2x only!!!

Most likely you have the dvd part connected through component or svideo cables. Despite the fact that this is one unit, like other vcr/dvd combo units it acts as two separate units in the same box. The vcr will probably not play through those cables. As you have audio coming through I'd imagine that the audio is connected using red and white composite cable. Connect the video on the vcr side with composite yellow cable or run direct to tv with a coaxial cable.

There is no solution for your problem. I thought my 4500 wouldn't finalize also but what is happening is that it didn't record on the disc you used. This is an older model unit and will not record on 16x discs. I believe you are boinked.

orion that makes this unit says that there are no parts left for repair of this unit.fyi

As i recall, +r's will only format in dvd vr, the unit does not like high speed recording disks. switch to dvd drive - insert blank disk - if no format screen - goto (on remote) setup - onscreen menu - system setup - disc setup - new disk format - hit center button in ring on remote to change to vr or move up to reformat as vr. once disk is formatted, use record speed button on remote to set record speed 1,2,4,6 hr then switch to tape deck with tape in and stopped at begining, on remote hit dubbing, it will ask you confirm dubbing vhs-dvd .... toggle over to yes & hit center button... away you should go... c245 is a copyguarded tape.
