Hi all... Found myself here because I bought a used DD-A1100 DVD RW and every blank disc I put in meets with an 'invalid disc' response.. Appears all other features works well including some DVDs which I have been able to play, others respond with a 'no disc' reply...

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
Haribo

Hi Haribo welcome to CDF

I've moved your thread to our Newbie forum, where hopefully you'll get some help.

To start with, have you got any virtual drive software on your PC - Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools or anything like that?

Edit: apart from that, can you give us a bit more detail? Is the problem with just blank DVD media?

hsbkc · 14-05-2008

Arachne.. Thank you for your response... I apologize for posting in the wrong section.

As you quite rightly identified, this problem occurs when a blank DVD -R disc is inserted in the recorder.

I have been able to set up all the features in the setup option and have been able to watch a couple of pre-recorded DVDs, but can't record anything to my blank discs.

I really hope that I can get some help... Kindest Regards
Haribo.

Could be some software causing it, so let's see if we can rule that in or out first...as I asked above, do you have Alcohol or Daemon Tools on your PC?

No problem at all about posting in the other section, BTW

Also, Google is showing me nothing for the drive model...do you know who makes it?

hsbkc · 14-05-2008

Hi again.. It's a LiteOn DD-A110 recorder, connected to my TV via my Satellite box. All visual connections work, switching from TV, Scart, Front AV etc... The only problem is the one I described above and I am worrying that I have bought a dud recorder.

Thanks again for your help.

EDIT: There are no software involved as I don't connect via my PC.

**Arachne** · 14-05-2008

Oh, it's a standalone! Sorry, I was thinking PC burners

Hmmm...what's it like with burned discs or commercial titles?

hsbkc · 15-05-2008

Commercial titles seem fine, but won't read some of the copies that I have.

**Arachne** · 15-05-2008

Hmmm, could be a media problem. What brands are the discs that won't read?

Do you have a DVD drive in your PC?

hsbkc · 15-05-2008

I think I know where you going with this.... I have tried the DVDs on my PC and they do work there fine. I have 3 types.. Imation, Digimate and RTVision. None of these have worked.
