What kind of blank dvds can i use - Symphonic WV806 DVD Player/VCR

Your unit is defective . Take it back to the dealer's with the purchase ticket .

I don't have a solution but I am having the same problem (same model DMR-E80H). It will read finalized dvds but won't recognize or play blank or non-finalized dvds. About a year ago I had to replace the hard drive . . . I'm just assuming that the dvd recorder is just slowly breaking down and will need some kind of repair of certain components. (I think we bought it new in 2003/2004?)

What kind of DVD drive do you have? Look on the front of the drawer itself. If it says DVD-ROM, then you don't have the necessary hardware to burn something onto a blank DVD. If it says DVD-RW, then you should be able to. Also try: the same blank DVD in a known good DVD drive; other blank or commercial (movie) DVDs to see if your drive works with only certain things.

You can use Sony DVD+RW 4X Rewritable or any other dvd cd thar says DVD+R.

Sounds like the lens is dirty. Run a cd cleaner through the drive. That should take care of it.

No Sir, Acer Aspire 4330 comes with different Optical Media Loadings, ( You can see a pdf file here )
Like;

• DVD/CD-RW combo drive
• 8X DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive.

But you have the first one, The Combo drive not the super so you can READ both CD's DVD's but can write only CD's.

Hope this removes your dilemma.

Its only cd writer burner and can only that it can read dvd disc also. That is why its called combo. But burning blank dvd it can't. But if you want buy some dvdburner too.

Any dvd-r or dvd-rw (+ or - for dvd r, not sure for rw) should work, check the user manual incase. dvd-r only lets you burn once, dvd-rw lets you erase the disk

try another brand of dvd and make sure you buy the right kind
