"No disc" or "Disc Error"

I've tried several types of blank discs and even tried one that I formatted on my desktop with the same result. My unit plays DVDs no problem. Are different kinds of discs really that important and how important is recording speed? I went to Sony and the "tech support" there was worthless - the guy must have been typing with his nose, one key at a time, he was so slow - 20 minutes to get no real answer! Sheesh! Also, what is up with all these other posts that are NOT for this model?

NS-P10DVD "No Disc" error on DVD player after "loading" and spinning for several minutes, then player just turns off.

The laser reader must be burned out. Unless this is a very expensive machine just replace it.

Try to play dvd says disc error, play back feature may not be available.

I would spray inside the unit with compressed air. Then you need to use a cleaning dvd. I would try several dvds or blue ray discs to see if you have a bad disc. If this fails you may need to replace or repair the unit.

Can i use any type of blank cd format i.e. MAXELL,TDK,SONY cd/cdr/cdrw. On a TASCAM CD-RW5000 or Do it just take the DIGITAL AUDIO/COMSUMER TYPE ?

What does the instruction manual say about what to use?
Personally I buy Taiyo Yuden and have never had a problem. In Radio we used a lot of CDRW900 units and they used them many times a day using standard data discs. Name brand discs like Maxell and the rest are there for profit- they don't make discs so they do not regulate the quality. Go to supemediastore.com and read up on media quality and you will end up with what I use.

The dvd wont initialize blanc discs so that i can record with it.i have used different disc as well

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.

(usually tracking and focus problems will be seen on both recording and playback (even with commercial discs).)

Cdr is not reading blank disc shows disc error

A few small things to try. Turn off unit, unplug for 5 minutes, plug back in, turn unit on.

There is a product called a cd/dvd lens cleaning disc. Worth the investment to have around.

Sometimes spindle dvd blanks have a few bad ones.

Check manual, might describe exactly what types of dvd blanks are best to use with the unit.

Just some suggestions, hope this helps.

Says blank DVD-RW is not formatted, then formats -- then error

I have same TOSHIBA D-VR4XSU VCR/DVD RECORDER. According to the
manual, you (COULD) can use for recording: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-R (see page 50). WRONG!!! I bought all 3 types of discs, but after few
weeks I got same experience you got now. Just type DVD-R works. The other
types were - wasted money and a lot of time trying to finalize the disc. I had to
throw all into the garbage. Try DVD-R and you should?? be O.K.
