Sony RDR-GX315 Problems

[starsnostars]

I recently got a Sony RDR-GX315 Recorder and the discs record fine both (+ & - RW) but the -RW won't play in any other player and the + disc will only play in one of my players. Neither of the discs however will play in my computer which concerns me the most. I have an I/O Magic IDVDRW4 (GENERIC DVD RW 4XMax) that is supposed to play both +/- RW discs. Is this a problem with the recorded discs from the Recorder or is a DVD Drive problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The info on my DVD Drive is below....

I have tested the GX315. Here are a few basic items to check.

Do you know if either of these -rw and +rw disks are recognized by your computer at all? I have one computer which will recognize Ritek dvd+rw, X4 disks and another which will not but both recognize TDK dvd+rw, X4.

Did you record to the dvd-rw in VR mode or Video mode? If video mode, did you finalize it? If VR mode it may still need to be finalized as described on page 67 of the manual. -VR mode is recognized by far fewer recorders than +VR mode.
