Wrong Format I recently purchased the Simpson Season 1 DVD. Disk 1 kept giving me the message about the disk not formatted to my player. I took it back to the store where I purchased it and exchanged for a new one. Now disk 2 says it not formatted for my player. Is there anything that can be down to fix this?

If you do not finalize the disc then you can not play it back. Go back to your instruction manual and look under 'setting options'. There should be a choice to 'finalize disc before ejecting'. The recorder will not finalize a disc until it knows when you are done recording, so you have to tell it somehow.

What I did that worked flawlessly was press setup on the remote, go to general and go down to restore. Hit Yes to restore factory settings and all is well. :) You should now be able to play all of your region 1 discs with no issue. This is using the RCR192DA1 Remote with The RCA DRC8052 DVD Recorder.

Hope This Help!

More than likely the DVD drive in your unit is bad.

SOURCE: It says "Disk error" on any disk. It won't read disk

turn off and, unplug your DVD recorder remove the six screws holding on the top tilt the back of the top up disengage the front of the top and set it aside look for a small laser tag this will point to a 1/4 inch glass lense this is the laser taking rubbing alcohol on a q-tip gently clean the lense with a twirling circular motion
