RECORDER WILL NOT RECOGNIZE DVD-Rs, BUT RECOGNIZES DVD-RWs

use a different disk

else try a trouble shoot

test

This problem of yours just need to be isolated so we can get to the final fix, as I check the some information about your Recorder I may suggest you to get a DVD-RW instead of a plain DVD-R disc. Can you please inform me also if you that player/recorder can read a DVD with movie or files inside it.
Hope it helps........

may be there could be problem in reading head..
is the player brand new??

If you think the unit is not prerforming as it should,
Check your warranty information.

If you are still covered under warranty (usually 12 months from purchase), contact the manufacturers (listed in the booklet), and return the unit according to their policy.

You should not be charged for repairs/ replacement, but could be billed for postage.
Make sure you use recorded/ signed for delivery to prevent loss /damage issues.

I hope this resolves the problem
Thanks,

you first check what kinda of media you are using. Is it a +or- dvd-r. Your problem most likely is in the fact that the unit you are using only likes specific disk's. make sure its a 8x dvd+r.

it is not recognizing DVD-R's and does not formatting it ?

happening on any-brand DVD-R's ?

First try a different brand DVD-R as that is a common issue as not all rewritable discs work in all burners.
Keep me posted as I will list some other common solutions to this problem,
Thanks,
Lee

You should reset the unit.
