I presume that this is a DVDR Recorder? It sounds very much like the unit has failed - our`s did the same after four months and about 50 DVDs recorded / played. I too suggest you return the unit to your retailer for a refund. Wait a few months `til more DVDR`s are available from other manufacturers.

I used to have a Philips 890 DVD recorder. I had the `disc error` come up a few times. As far as I could tell it was because the recording mode was set too high. I only found this with the Intenso make of DVD+R. I had to recorder at LP or EP quality (low quality).
Makes of DVD+R that worked for me were TDK, Vertabim, Maxell & CloneDisc.
Soon after that error I then got a `No disc` error for all pre-recorded DVD`s. I eneded up taking it back and getting a full refund. Now I have a Panasonic E50 and am well pleased!!
