Can I record on LG HDD / DVD Recorder RH1988H

SOURCE: Recording problem with LG RH266 Recorder..

Just bought unit. Had same problem.Tried lots of different types of disks with no luck. Tried to play already written +R disk. Worked OK. Then took out and replaced with blank -R. Came up with new screen asking me if I wanted to initialize disk. Answered yes and it took about 20 seconds. Then tried to DUB from HDD to DVD again. This time it came up with the dubbing menu, I hadn't seen before, and worked.
Hardly ideal, but the trick was to get it to recognise it as a blank and initialize. Currently burning my first disk. Didnt realise about 'FAST' mode, so taking ages.

Same Problem here, have not done anything yet, but I am convinced that it is due to blown Capacitors in the Power Supply......

using a dvd/cd cleaner, clean the optical lens of the unit, it could be some dirt that make the player not to read every cd you inserted.

Try reformatting the harddisk, worked for me!

Could be a timing issue with the tray mechanism - possible that somebody has given the tray "a shove" to make it close instead of using the open/close button and has put the timing out.or a worn tray loading belt
