I've been using my Toshiba D-R4SU DVD Player/Recorder to record to DVD
since I purchased it a couple of months ago. I have no complaints or
problems with it except for this one rather annoying detail: DVD's that I've
recorded on my Toshiba D-R4SU, while playing just fine in the unit itself,
will not play in any other DVD player. I have tried to play these on
several different DVD machines (including one Toshiba model used at work, in
my all-format [except for BluRay and HD-DVD] capable drive that I have in my
personal computer, as well as other modern DVD players) in which every time
I pop in a DVD I've recorded in my Toshiba D-R4SU, it simply will not play.
I use only the types of recordable DVD disks that the D-R4SU can record to
(DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM), while the machines I try to play these in each
clearly indicate they are capable of playing the particular DVD format of
the disk(s) which I've tried playing in them.
I am somewhat frustrated by this problem. I'm wondering if anyone here
knows the answers to the two following questions I have: (1) Is this is an
intentional limitation that has been engineered into the Toshiba D-R4SU
(i.e. a CRM [copyright management] measure)? (2) What is there I might
try, in terms of changing settings of my Toshiba D-R4SU, to possibly to
overcome this problem?
TIA,
Ken
PS: All recordings I've made on the Toshiba D-R4SU have been of broadcasts
received through my cable TV provider's (Shaw Communication's)
cable-box/PVR-Motorola DCT6412 III). I have not yet attempted to record
broadcasts to DVD in the D-R4SU while bypassing the cable box/PVR unit (in
which case I'd then have fewer channels to choose from), just in case the
cause somehow resides embedded within the analog signals fed (via composite
connection) to the DVD recorder, originating in the cable-box/PVR-unit,
rather than something residing wholly within the DVD recorder per se.
