What kind of discs does it not read? Will it read regular movie DVD's or does it only have problems with blank media?

How to enter disc menu for finalizing dvd-r on philips dvdr3330H

The Disc Settings menu is accessed from the Disc Index Picture screen (so it's not as easily accessed as on other brands of DVD recorders). When you first put a recorded disc in the device, you'll see this index screen. At this point you need to press the UP arrow on the remote repeatedly until the disc content menu appears. This is a screen with the disc name, amount of recording time used and the date of the first recording. Then press the Right arrow button to get to the Disc Settings menu. Use the Down Arrow to reach the line that reads Finalise Disc. Then press OK and then press OK a second time to confirm the action.

The documentation for the DVDR3330H is available from Philips here: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&scy=hu&ctn=DVDR3330H/02 . See page 52 for the screen captures. The Finalise steps are on page 53.

I hope this helps.

It is sony dcr-dvd105. i shot 5 minutes. if i finalize the 5 minutes, i basically lose the rest of the dvd, am i right? is there a way only finalize the 5 minute and transfer to pc and still be able to use...

I'm glad to inform you that it is possible to record additional scenes after finalizing when you use DVD -RW and DVD +RW discs.

When using finalized DVD -RW(VR mode) disc, you can record additional material on the disc without any additional steps.
Other case, you can unfinalize the discs using [UNFINALIZE] option under DISC SET Menu.
Please let me know if you require any clarifications.
Thanks for understanding.

Ps3 not reading disc..Please help

Do you see the little clock like icon in the top right corner of the screen when you first insert a disc the loading disc icon? if so then it could either just be the drive itself or a software issue in which case you can try a few things before replaceing the drive.

First just reset to factory default settings under system settings.

P.S. i assume its not reading any kind of disc if it isnt reading anything also double check to make sure the disc you are using are still good and not just really dirty or scratched. GIve us more info and what disc your trying to check so we can further help you out.

My ps3 won't load any games

if it wont load your icons and freezes before your xmb, put it into safemode and try restoring the filing system. to get it into safemode...

hold down the power button while the console is in standby. the light will go from red to green.it will beep once flash green beep again, and then beep a third time. after the third beep the light will turn red.

once the light is red, take your finger off the power button and place it back on the power button. the light will go from red to green, beep once flash and then beep twice quickly. after it does the double beep, take your finge roff. the light will stay green and you'll get a screen asking you to connect the controller.

after connecting the controller, try option 3, or whichever option is restore filing system. this can possibly correct media loading and will 95% of the time fix the console when it freezes before loading up your icons(the xmb)
