When I put a blank DVD-R in my DVD player with the intention of recording, I get the following message "The disc cannot be played, please check the disk" I have put several brand new discs in and get the same message. This is brand new DVD player.

My Samsung DVD R155 often ejects a new blank DVD-R, thereby preventing recording. If I pull the plug and let it 'rest', it sometimes behaves properly next time. I suspect a permanent malfunction is close. The fault first occurred 53 weeks after purchase.My Samsung DVD R155 often ejects a new blank DVD-R, thereby preventing recording.

Worked for about 4 months...doing the same thing. Im ready to smash it on the floor. Looks like a bad product from Samsung. Worked for about 4 months...doing the same thing. Im ready to smash it on the floor. Looks like a bad product from Samsung.
Sorry Jacqster But r155 CANNOT use BluRay discs and records on all others types except DVD-RAM. I agree with TSYA a definite overheating problem, mine plays fine with the lid off and rejects discs after 5-10 mins with the lid on.

Heating issue. If you remove the cover and touch the processor chip - you will not be able to keep your finger there for more than a second (that is if your really want to use this crude method to test the temp).
I have taken measurement and its around 50C. Thats a lot for no heatsink or cooling fan.
If you have the unit in a cabinet with no air flow - you will not be able to use this unit for more than 3 months and up to a year. Best to have it on top of a cabinet or in one with an open front and back to allow some airflow - or just anywhere where its in the open.
Samsung has another unit - the AR650, which I believe is discontinued - which for some strange reason has realized this concern. My guess its a whole different team of designers (or at least some folks with some brains) and added a cooling fan into the unit. Its the same exact case and motherboard as the 135, and 155. There are absolutely no issues with it rejecting disc's - even after a year of use for some users.
In Summary:
Solution 1 - Place it in the open
Solution 2 - Remove case and drill holes to the topside
Solution 3 - Remove case and add a fan
Solution 4 - Remove case and add a heatsink over proc (will still need to drill holes over heatsink..
Solution 5 - We can all complain to Samsung and have them recall the units
Here are some corrections of comments made by other people.
1 R155 can record on DVD-RAM/-RW/-R/+RW/+R. See page 32 of the DVD-R150 / DVD-R155 Instruction Manual.
2 DVDs recorded on the R155 are not unplayable on other devices. I have another three DVD players that all play R155 recorded material.
I spoke to Samsung Customer Care and they have told me that none of their DVD Recorders support DVD+ ; you can only use DVD-
Also you cannot use HD only BluRay.
I am now going to take all the DVDs back to Comet and change them - as they sold them to me as they said they were compatible.

Do you mean it won't format/initialize the disc? Alternative possible problem, when you put in a disc, does it not recognize that a blank disc is in the unit? Only DVD-RAM discs need formatting. DVD-RW discs need to be initialized. DVD-R disc do not need either formatting or initializing. (This unit does not write to DVD+R or DVD+RW discs.)
In the case of DVD-RW discs that can't be initialized. Check if this has already been done (or if you need to unfinalize the disc).
If the new disc is not being recognized as a blank disc, the recorder may not be recognizing the disc (dirt, scratches or manufacturing issue) or the recorder is not focusing on the disc properly. In the first case, clean the disc or try a different type of disc (Samsung claims that their discs will be most compatible). In the second case, the unit may need service.
I hope this helps.
Cindy Wells (usually tracking and focus problems will be seen on both recording and playback (even with commercial discs).)
check the output formats the machine is writing to disk and then compare the players formats they are being used in
could be your disk type ie format type - Minus (-) or Plus (+)
One disk is better for data and the other is better for DVD video
Check to see what format you are able to play on you Laptop
Sometimes they only work on some formats. Also make sure you are not recording in progressive scan
The reason why you are having this problem is because you haven't finalized the disc. In able for you to play that Burned DVD that you have you need to Finalized the disc.
Finalizing a recordable optical disc means writing the disc's lead-in (the Table of Contents or TOC) and lead-out information (blank data that fills up the unused space at the end of the disc) so that a DVD player will know where the various tracks begin and end. Without the TOC, a conventional DVD player will not be able to read the contents of the disc.
Once the disc is finalized, no more information can be written to it. Finalizing takes about two or three minutes.
To finalize a DVD-RW/DVD-R:
1. Press the Menu button with the disc stopped.
2. Select Disc Manager and press Enter or the right arrow.
3. Select Disc Finalize and press Enter or the right arrow.
You will be asked twice if you are sure that you want to finalize the disc. Select Yes and press Enter.
Once the disc is finalized, you cannot delete entries from the record list. After being finalized, the DVD-R/DVD-RW (video mode) operates in the same manner as a DVD-Video. Recorded discs must be finalized in order to play back in non-Samsung DVD players.
A DVD-RW disc that has been recorded by DAO (disk-at-once mode) in a PC cannot be unfinalized.
A DVD-RW disc that has been recorded in Video Mode on a non-Samsung recorder cannot be unfinalized by a Samsung recorder.
A DVD-R disc cannot be unfinalized.
Note: Finalization does not apply to DVD-RAM.
If you cannot finalize a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, make sure that Disc Protection is turned off. If you are still having difficulty, you may try calling technical support of SAMSUNG.
Note: Do not turn the recorder off while it is finalizing the disc. Data on the disc will be damaged if the finalization process is interrupted.

It also happens with regular movies.
