What is the type of disc that your using? make sure your using x8 and it just says x8. NOT UP TO X8 or NOT UP TO x16 or 1-8x 1-16x. Once you get ones that just say x8 I can promise that it will work.

This unit is designed to work with DVD-R, DVD-RAM and other discs as listed in the manual. You don't need to format discs for them to work in this machine. Just put the blank disc in, and record something to it.
Have you formatted the disc? It will be under the disc menu screen the format a disc option. Does it also play a DVD disc? If it doesn't it might need a clean of the lens.
Hi, I think I have the answer. Try putting in a different type of disc, start with going to a simpler format of disc-if yoou were using dvd r/w +- for example then go to plain dvd r. If you were using dvd r's-then try putting in a data disc ( cd-r ) and try recording a song. I you can record in a simpler format I'd have to say that your samsung's probably reached the end of it's life cycle and is just plain getting weak. I'm sorry I didn't have better news. You may try a " LENS CLEANING " dvd also-as there have been cases of actual dirt being a culprit. I hope this was helpful, please comment though, Thanks and good luck , Prodzilla
Are you loading to play or to record? Commercial DVDs should play. DVDs for recording may not be recognized by your drive. First make sure that the disc is blank. You must insert a blank disc of the proper format: DVD-R or RW, DVD+R or RW. Even with the proper format, some brands may not behave the same way as other brands.
I have a similar problem in that it will not record at all or not record very well. It has a drive inside like a PC DVD drive called the DVD RAM drive. The horrible clunking (grinding) sound is the disc slipping in the spindle. Unfortunately here in Australia the fix is to replace the whole drive (AU$350)!!
I have opened it up and tried to adjust the force of the spindle and it works for a while.
Hope somebody has a better solution.
