I have a ilo DVDRHD04. I put a disc in it to copy a home movie that is currently on the hard drive but it won't recognize any disc. Every disc I put in it says "invalid disc". I have used several different dics manufactures with no success. Has anyone else had this problem or better question, a solution? I have emailed ilo several times and they have not responded.

I'm having the same problem with my Panasonic DMR-E80H- For the third time !
I have also had this problem with two Panasonic DMR-E30s.

I have been told that this problem can be caused by three things:
-A dirty read laser lens.
-A dead read laser.
-Obsolete firmware which can cause incompatibility with newer media.

I don't know what to recommend. I logged on to ilo's corporate website and they have posted a notice on their homepage stating that they do not manufacture the DVD recorders which have been sold at Walmart and do not respond to inquiries regarding repair.

You can search for authorized service centers in your area, but repair- at least in my experience- is temporary at best. If the unit is no longer in warranty, you might be better served buying a replacement and keeping the ilo for use as a PVR.

Good luck !.
