Have you tried to look for a firmware upgrade?

what is firmware...i've heard people talk about it before? God...i'm so new at this

Firmware is software which DVD understand and read different media like CD, DVD+r-R or DVD-rw.-B

Ok...i've just had a look at the link...I think thats only for dvd writers? My recorder is a standalone dvd recorder
