GoVideo VR3845 Hello, I just recently started to experience a problem with my unit. When I try to insert a DVD or a blank DVD I get a message : "UNKNOWN DISC PLEASE CHECK DISC AGAIN". I have tried several DVDs several times with no success. I've had this unit for some time and had no previous problems with it. This just started recently. What can I do? Thanks George

when i insert dvds my unit says unable to read disc.i have used a cd/dvd laser cleaner and it played but, movies still won't play.

Recently my VR3845 will not initialize new DVDs to be able to record on them. It runs through the process then will not read the initialized DVD. It just keeps cycling until I finally have to remove the disc. Recently my VR3845 will not initialize new DVDs to be able to record on them.

Same problem. EVERY disk I insert gives "UNKNOWN DISC PLEASE CHECK DISC AGAIN".
In this instance I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF USING IT AND THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED:
1. recorded a disk and finalized it. worked perfectly.
2. recorded new disk using only half the space, watched that program BEFORE finalizing - perfect.
3. Took same un-finalized disk and began another session to record another VHS program to the unused portion of the disk. After pressing the "stop rec" button on remote, the deck stopped recording and displayed, "writing file, please wait".
4. The deck then seemed to be stuck in this, "writing file, please wait" mode for at least 20 minutes. I could not make the machine respond in any way or even turn off. I then powered off the deck by holding down the power button until the machine turned off ( like shutting down a mac computer that is frozen).
5. NOW the machine rejects all disks and gives the same "UNKNOWN DISC PLEASE CHECK DISC AGAIN" message for ALL disks I insert INCLUDING new blanks, the disk I was in the middle of recording AND the original disk that I burned and finalized, whick worked perfectly.
6. This deck has copied dozens and dozens of disks for me previously with no problem.
!!!!!!!!!!!!???????? HOW CAN I RESET THIS MACHINE ???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the vr3930 model and have the same unknown disc problem.



I also have stuck video recording, which means, if I am watching a recorded show selection 4 on my unit, the picture just freezes. I can't stop, eject or anything. I try to reset the unit or just unplug it. I actually lose the show or the disc. So frustrating.



I also have a problem with recording a program. When I pause my unit in order to cut out advertising commercials the unit soon defaults to stop recording altogether. I have to hit the record button again, which causes another new region to record. It just isn't worth it to edit a show while recording.



All of the problems spoken about on your units is happening to my unit.



GO Video went out of business and stuck all of us without support.

When a disc is put in the DVD player a message says"incorrect region code" and the disc is rejected. Have tried to figure out how to plug in the correct code without any success.

Unknown disc Please check disc again Unknown disc Please check disc again

no matter what type of disc, commercial, finalized, partiallly recorded etc, the disc is eventually spit out as "unknown disc"--had worked fine until now, and the video portion still works--is there anyone out there who fixes these machines in the Oakland CA area no matter what type of disc, commercial, finalized, partiallly recorded etc, the disc is eventually spit out as "unknown disc"--had worked fine until now, and the video portion still works--is there anyone out there who fixes these machines in the Oakland CA area
