Name the player and I will look it up.

JVC HR-XVC1U (mentioned above)


Comes up as:

Compatible with DVD-R

Compatible with DVD-RW

Partially compatible with DVD-R9 (Plays layer 0 only)

Compatible with DVD+R.

Not compatible with DVD+RW.

Not compatible with DVD+R9.

No information on RW9 discs but unlikely to be compatible.

The DVD mechanism of this machine is made by Toshiba. Apparently it is a
DVD/VHS combo unit and the VHS mechanism is made by JVC themselves.

DVD+RW discs can be made to play by changing the Compatibility ID byte from
'2' to '0' - there are numerous utilities that do this. It is necessary to
change it back before erasing and reusing the disc.

It is possible that the particular brand of blank DVD+R discs that you used
may not have had a good image made when recorded in your burner. You could
try burning it at a lower speed (this often works). Alternatively, try a
different brand - they are not all as equal as they should be.
