I get a disk error message when I try to play a dvd. Recorder shows the animated dvd icon in the upper right corner of tv screen, makes a bunch of noises, then about 30 seconds later the error message comes on and tells me to eject the dvd...that "playback option" might not be available. I know the dvd is not the problem as I can play it in my laptop.
Try buying a Laser Lens Cleaner Disc from Wal-Mart, FYE music store, or any other place that might sell DVD players. Your Laser Lens that reads the DVD'S is full of dust. Try using the laser lens cleaner disc i mentioned to clean the laser lens.

My LG DVD recorder was unreliable when recording TV broadcasts to "standard" DVD disks. Frequently it would begin recording a show and then stop with a copyright error message during some commercial. I rarely got a complete show. Very frustrating!
Solution: Buy some DVD-RAM disks and this machine will become totally reliable. They are hard to find and a little more expensive than +RW or -RW. Because of the copyright programming on this machine only DVD-RAM disks will work in VR (Video Recorder) mode.
Which blank media do you have? Check out CDFREAKS.com forum Does your burner prefer + or- disks? Try a slower burn speed Try a different blank media. Don't buy the cheapest disks
I have good results with Verbatum, Taiyo Yunden (Fuji)
you can try manually cleaning the laser lens ( gently wipe , do not press down hard , it is suspended by fine wires ) using a q-tip and a drop of that cleaning solution you got with the laser lens disc. ( fluff another q-tip a little ) then dry wipe it with another q-tip and try a disc.
you can look at the laser lens and see if you see the laser come on also to determine if that is working ( do not look directly into the laser ! )
if the laser works but it still does not read discs after cleaning it manually , then there is a problem with the focus coil on the laser or the signal board is bad

If
the unit is showing "invalid disk" on every disk that you try to play,
unfortunately, the unit has developed a defect and needs to be
replaced. Our warranty is 90 days from the date of purchase. If you've
had the player longer than 90 days, I regret to inform you it is out of
warranty.
If you feel this solution doesn't deserve a good
rating, please let me know why so that I may better assist you. If
there is anything more I can do to help, I will!
If other dvds play then try getting the same movie but from another supplier if it persists the check yo dvd if it uses a dvd ROM then replace it with anew one.
thanks
i would say for some reason your dvd player is not compatible from now on with that brand of blank dvd!
get the firmware update from the brand website all you do is download the file burnit on a cd and put it in the dvd player should fix most and eventual problems
I had the same problem with my recorder except that it wouldnt play any discs at all.. I finally unplugged the recorder and left it unplugged for 16 hours. Now it is fine. I am not getting any error messages.
