I have a Samsung DVD-SR150M DVD player/recorder?

Question

When I insert a DVD -R to record a TV programme it goes on Load for ages. Then stop. I press record, it records for 16 seconds then appears to stop on 16. I cannot get the menu up when I press menu. I maybe throwing it out of the window soon. What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Is it DVD - R compatible

Most are DVD +R

Answer 2

Same question as poster 1 - check whether it can write to -R.

Otherwise - for some strange reason - I found that some DVD blanks (Sony) simply didn't work on my recorder and I had to change to a different manufacturer.

Answer 3

Dno Soz. Hope It Gets Sorted Though x

Answer 4

its a new DVD-r ? sounds like the final

some times lets say you put to many movies or programs

and the dvd finals in the encoding one of them does not

final all the way it will keep righting to the DVD,

and when on load threes a error and lock up on the 16 or 22

that happens alot ,

and have you try ed a cleaner after 8 to 12 hours

its best to cleaner on your DVD  it will stop all

your errors your player is getting ,

and some DVD-rs  some will not play DVD-r and DVD+r

i have 2 and only one can play DVD-r and the other one can play DVD- and + rs ..........and some can play DVD-Re and others cant
