Question about Sony RDR-GX300 DVD Recorder

Disc error message

I have just tried to play a cd-r(burnt on my computer) on my sony rdr-gx3.It loaded and played as normal for about 30 secs and then stopped playing issuing the message 'disc error'. It now refuses to play cd's of any type, taking some minutes to load before issuing 'disc error'. It will however still play and record dvd's as normal. Can anyone help?

Computer Burned discs are a grey area for some players[different firmware/chipsets] There is a list on the web of players and what they will play a Google/Yahoo will reveal. Also checkout the manual that came with the player.

Sony CDP-C910 will no longer play cds or eject changer cartridge

Mine did the same thing. My player was primarily used in the garage and the cold weather may have caused my player to do the same thing. I just fixed my player. I removed the top cover and looked at the CD in the play position. In the upper right corner from the CD, you will see a spindle motor with a belt on it. Gently spin the motor back and forth carefully with your finger. I rotated it a half-spin in either direction, careful not to dislodge the belt. When I turned the player back on, the mechanism operated as it normally would and began playing the disc. I was able to eject and reinsert the magazine without any issues, solving the problem. Hopefully that will work for you.

Can not get this to stop skipping (playing 30 sec of each track)

what you need to do is play a song and hit the MODE button on the side of the player Click Play Mode and select Normal. What's happening is that your device is playing in INTRO mode.

CAN VIEW THE DVD ON A COMPUTER OR THE DVD RECORDER BUT NOT ON DVDS PLAYERS BOUGHT BEEFORE THE RECORDER

This is quite common of older players. Some only work with DVD+R discs and others with DVD-R discs.
Some player also does not read recordable discs (an early form to try prevent piracy)
Also make sure if recorded on your Recorder, that the disc is finalized before you try to play it on an older player. (See your menu / manual on the recorder for the procedure)
