I have had my DVD recorder for about two years. It has been sent in for repair 3 times. It went to Sony, as CC could not resolve the issue. The "dirty" messages!! I have read at least three other posts on this site that experienced the same problems with not reading disks, not finalizing and "disk dirty" messages on NEW disks. CC wanted to replace my unit with a new Sony RDR-GX3, but after trying it out and also trying the 500 and an LG model, I demanded that they try to fix my model. so they replaced the drive and sensor and whatever else...and said I should be like new. I was for two weeks. Then the same. I unplugged it and forgot about it for about a month. When I plugged it in again to be "ready" to speak with repair....IT WORKED FINE. Imagine my joy. I like the features of my set. What I did find out, is that my machine prefers Sony and Memorex disks. And it definitely has a problem with Fuji. Fuji used to be okay....but no more. I`ve even tried different batches, as I had about four. So, if anyone has this problem--unplug your unit to reset the processor and only use Sony disks, and possibly Memorex. I have been in luck now for over 3 months. Happy New Year.
