Cyberhome DVR 1600 DVD
What format are you recording in?If the recorder is set for DVD +R, and your playback machine won't read the disc, you may need to record on a DVD-R, or a DVD +-R. Or vice-versa. Some DVDRW discs will record on one machine and won't play on another. The media are incompatible.
Another problem - if you are copying a copy-protected disc, it might not play back either.
Are you sure you are finalizing the disc? This process takes 4-5 minutes and requires two or three responses sometime.
I recently tried to record some shows on DVR+R. Seemed to format fine, record fine, then I finalized the disc. Now I can't play the disc and it comes up with an "unknown disc" error message and will not play on other players. I tried recording to a DVR+RW and everything works fine. I did not finalize the disc as the instructions say you do not need to. Any idea why I'm getting the problem with +R's? I thought I'd try not finalizing the +R's and see what happens.
