Hello everyone....
While I've graduated into the land of broadband and wireless networks, I'm barely above VHS when it comes to recording movies. :shiftyeyes: We are on our second Panny DVD recorder. The first one died just out of warranty. I bought a three year extended warranty on this one and it's been working beautifully untill just recently. We use it just like the old VCR's of days gone by. It only records a single show or movie at a time like a VCR, but really, it's been fine so far.
Recently however, I would set it to record, the "red record light" would come on and the timer would start counting.... just like always. Yet, when we tried to view the recording, it says "nothing has been recorded." At first, I thought maybe I had done something wrong and shrugged it off. But it's been happening more and more without any real pattern that I could discern. The ONLY thing I could point to is a brand new disc (SONY DVD+RW), seems to record fine while a previously recorded/erased disc does not seem to record anything.
Now granted, like the proverbial generic VHS tape that we all kept to record on over and over again is how I approached recording TV shows and movies we only cared to see a single time with the DVD recorder. I guess I'm wondering if anyone knows if these DVD+RW's "wear out" or just quit working over time or if I truly do have a problem with my machine?
