Hi,

I have the above player and have a problem that I cannot get my head around. I purchased the player as it seemed a good budget player with card reader and DIV X playback capability.

The problem I am having is when playing back DVD +/- RW disks. At first - naturally - I put this down to media and have tried numerous of varying quality.

What happens is when I burn a DVD or DIV X files to a DVD RW the player fails to read it (i.e. spins out for up to 10 -15 mins or will give an unknown disk error). If I keep doing a combination of turning the machine off and/or opening the drive tray so that machine re-tries - bang - it reads and play back is perfect. It can take a long long time! Put the same disk in moments later and the errors are back!!

Anyone shed any light why this would be - it is almost like a laser warming up thing!! Very bizarre.

I need to add - write the same files in the same way to any DVDR (no matter how cheap) - perfect - everytime. I generally burn with Nero 7.

Any theories would be much appreciated. I know this player should read DVDRW.

Thanks.
