I also was happy with the Sony DAV-S300, until I started burning my own DVD's and CD's, none would play. I got on to Sony who told me it was not designed to play any other disc's than the type on page 4 of the instructions. I found that DVD-R from RiDisc work, but still not found a CD-R that works.

    I have the same problem! CD-R doesn`t work, but CD-RW works well. Now, I would like to use DVD-R and I`ll have this problem again. DVD-RW is very expensive to try. Isn`t there one way to do this? Changing the software, for example?

    I've also had probs with CD-R and DVD+RW. Won't read. Keeps asking to insert disk. Trying to burn from Sony camcorder using "sonic" as sony software keeps looking for a compatable drive. Help help help.

    Hey I got good news.........Had loads of probs trying to burn video files from hard drive to DVD and play on my DAV-S300. Using dvdSanta software I was able to burn video files on TDK - "DVD-R" discs as I was informed by a lad in my local "Peats" electronic store that the older DVD players like mine preferred to be fed with "DVD_R" discs. .........Hope this helps someone out there................

    I have a Panasonic SC-HT70 and I would like to know how can I play in my system a film recorded in a DVD-R in my home, because when I put it in the system it says "No play or the playback feature" I don't know, something like that and I can't see the film. I want to know the regional setting code unlock for this system because I want to see all the film that I record in my home. Please, somebody, help me. I'll appreciate your help. Thanks.
