When using my Toshiba RD-XS32 DVD Recorder, I had the same problem with RW discs as a previous reviewer. The answer is, you must use for version 1.1 - revision 1.0 disc, and 2xwrite speed. For version 1.2 disc - 4xwrite speed. You get the problems as stated in the previous review, and when trying to format, you get the message lock. When you look at the disc information, it says locked rd-xs 34. You can use the 1.2 disc! See page 9 in the user guide.

All in all a great machine, small irritation with the RW's, normal DVD-R no problems at all.

Many thanks for the review of my review, I have now had the firmware upgraded by Toshiba (who have been great). The machine now plays, records and works as it should alway have done. Do you know how to get past the 'write protection' as I would like to copy dvd's onto the hard drive?
<br>Many thanks
