Recording & erasing problems

I have a set of DVD-RWs that I've been using with my Panasonic recorder for a few months. They've all worked fine until about a week ago, when the recorder stopped recognizing ALL of them. Sometimes it will let me view them, but most of the time it says there is a format error. The unit will no longer record on DVD-RWs. However, it still records on regular DVD-Rs. What could be causing this problem, and how can I fix it?

Could be a cleaning issue or the laser is weak or out of alighnment and if you dont have a service manual and at least a 60 meg scope your gonna need to take in the unit to an authorized repair center. Good Luck

Record errors

If your dvd player only supports dvd+r discs then that is the only way it will record. It will only record once onto the dvd-rw and, since it doesn't support the re-writables, it won't be able to use this function. This is the most likely reason for the first error. The second problem is a little confusing. Is it when you are trying to record on dvd-rs or dvd-rws that it says it can't record? I hope this post was helpful (for the first error, anyway). Good luck! I hope everything works out! Sincerely, Der Strom
