Dvds that are recorded on this LG RC797T will not play back in this unit nor will it play in my other LG DR1F9H. But it will play in my other dvd players models ( Philips,RJTech & others). It will play any recorded dvds from my other dvd recorders also the ones that are purchased. But not the ones that are recorded in this unit. Insert the recorded dvd the LG RC797T reads it, displays on TV screen "VIDEO" and ejects the disc and says unknown format or disc error.
-   when o when are we going to find a cd/dvd that will play on any model/make machine,there are so many different formats no wonder it wont work! i have just spent a day editing my daughters wedding photos using windows movie maker,plays back fine on computer,but the other 3 dvd players i have around the house say disc empty!! we had video tape- betamax or vhs,i think the later won at the end of the day,wonder how long this battle is gona be..i give up... -   aaman1

-   This will not play most disc. It just says "read" for a couple of minutes then ejects the disc.-   kickabuck

-   All of a sudden the dvds I've recorded on the LG DR1F9H will not play back. It does play on another player that we have. I have tried disconnecting the unit for a few minutes nothing changed. The message I get is "unknown disk check disk"I use the DVD+RW.-   Sula2
