Hi.
Firstly, appologies if it causes annoyance, but I've cross posted this in
the hope of catching a reply in my net.
I have a Pioneer DVR-520 DVD recorder. The other day, there was a power cut
whilst I was trying to finalise a disc. This may or may not be the cause of
the problem, but I mention it just in case it's relevant.
Anyway, for whatever reason, my recorder now won't deal with blank media.
If I put in a brand new DVD-R or RW, it just says 'unreadable or
incompatible disc', or something like that. Similarly, if I put any discs
that I have written and finalised in the past, into the player, it jut spits
them back out again. I know they are okay because they all play fine on the
other players in my house. The DVR-520 just rejects any DVD-R/RW I put in
it, whether new, blank, finalised, whatever.
It reads Audio CD's and commercial DVD's, such as my bought films etc. The
hard drive is also still working fine, I can record, edit and watch anything
I have on the hard drive.
However, whenever I try and burn a DVD, copy to DVD, backkup a DVD etc etc,
it just won't have it, spitting the thing straight back out, saying it can't
read it.
I just can't fathome what the problem might be, I don't know if there's an
error occured within the player, maybe something to do with it's firmware or
something, but as Pioneer don't do firmware upgrades, I suppose there's
nothing I can do about that.
Basically, I just wondered if anyone had any ideas, or any similar
experiences. It's out of warrantee, so if I can avoid taking it to a repair
shop, I will, but I fear that that might be innevitable.
Thanks for any help.
