How to use DVD+R with Proline 1040

[JasperG]

Before I bought the Proline 1040 dvd player, I read the reviews posted here on dvdrhelp. One of the features should be the ability of reading DVD+R discs. Once bought, I find out that the player is NOT able to read the +R discs I have. (BulkPaq and another cheap brand)...
I would like to know from others users of the Proline 1040, how they are able to view movies burned on DVD+R discs......

Thanks in advance

Burner type, firmware, burning software, settings,....etc....?????

The burner type is unkown because I got them from a neighbour. The firmware is out of the box. The player is firmware upgradeable but there are no firmware upgrades.
This is my second dvd player, my first (which I still have) is a Pioneer DV343 and it plays every dvd disc I place in it.... any suggestions?

Well,

Same goes for me. It seems there is no firmware available anywhere for this player. The only possible way would be to burn your DVDR with the DVD-ROM booktype (which I can't do myself becquse my burner sony dru500a will not let me chqnge the booktype on DVD+-Rs...

I guess I'll stick with DVD-R from now on or buy another standalone.
