Help with Panny DMR-E85

[the_boydster]

Can anyone explain the following problem i am having with my DMR-E85 ?
When i load certain backup dvdr`s i get this message on screen "incompatible format cannot play this disc"
the backups will play on other dvd players, could it be anything to do with the discs`s being printed ?
Anyone got any ideas ?

Steve.

It looks like that model will only work with DVD-R discs. Are you perhaps inserting a DVD+R disc?

Thanks for your reply,

not sure if they are + dvdr or not as they have printed surfaces so there is no manufacturers info. Having checked the tech specs for the machine it does not mention playback of + dvdr, whereas the DMR-95 does.
Thanks again,
Steve.

Throw it in a PC dvd drive to identify it
