Dvd recorder shows unknown disc - Televison & Video

There are no specific settings for playback on this machine?
If the lazer does not read discs and the display shows NO DISC or UNKNOWN DISC then the lazer pick-up needs replacing.
I believe that the lazer pick-up for this LG recorder has been discontinued?

The optical lens may be damage or just dirty. try to use a cotton buds to clean the optical lens but wipe it very gently.

haha...your kidding right..

I have had the same problem a few times. All I do is eject and re-insert the disk until it recognises it, this seemed to work for me

machine might only take - dvd or + dvd only some take both types will show on front of machine just a thought

same here but cant find a place to buy a new dvd drive any one help me

OKAY GUYS TRY USING THIS VERY COMPATIBLE MEDIA

(MEMOREX BRAND DVD-R) THIS WILL SOLVE A LOT OF YOUR PROBLEMS

Have you tryed to use a lens cleaning disc yet. The laser lens on these players and recorders alike, must have the lens cleaned every oince in awhile. If that does not help, most likly you have a bad laser pickup assembly and you will need to replace the plaer as to have that repaiered, you could buy a new unit. Good Luck

YOUR LASER LENS MAY need cleaning
