My System: Sky+ sky dish, Panasonic Combi VHS/DVD recorder Low definition 20" TV with mono sound though somehow is patched into the hi-fi!!! Oh and have a motorised dish for looking at other satellites which is unfortunately now seized up through lack of use
Question How do I close a DVD so it can be watched on another DVD player

OK, I have a bit of a problem in that the Sony DVD Recorder RDR-GX210 which I bought a few years ago (2 or 3 years I think) is now refusing to play the DVDs that I have recorded using it, which I assume means the unit is getting a bit tired. Not only that, it also refuses to play them, or any other pre-recorded DVDs, so is about as much use as a brick in a parachute!

My problem is that the DVDs recorded on this unit can's be watched on any other DVD player unless the disc is closed - But I can't do that because the laser doesn't want to play ball (or anything else for that matter!)

Does anyone know how these DVDs can be closed so they can be watched on another player?

Also, if I replace it with another DVD recorder, can these discs be watched on another Sony unit, or is it player specific?

Any help from you tech guys much appreciated
