How to record from DVR on Centrios EDW8020 Digital recorder

If the disc is not "finalized" it will not play on other DVD players. The steps to finalize the disc are part of the DISC Utilities Menu. under "DISC OPERATIONS". Choose "FInalize DISC". Instructions refer to finalizing DVD=R disc, so you may want to try this type of disc first and see if it works. Says It can be used as DVD-Video disc but results are not guaranteed. You can not edit disc after finalizing, only playback.

It should say on the rear of the machine what region DVDs it is programmed to play (most likely 1)but the instructions at the following like should make it play any region of DVD.

I am having the same problem. I can view an external video feed through the Centrios unit on a TV monitor, but as soon as I load a recordable disc, DVD-R type, I lose the video and the LED on the unit never moves beyond loading.

Hi
As the black and white pic got a snall cross dot patten all over it. If this so the input on your tv that connects to the dvd player as been set to s-video you can change this with remote on tv . regards windyhouse

hello,
the disc tray is operated by a mechanism inside the player, the problem would be that it is old and weak and cannot perform its functions anymore.

all you have to do is open the dvd player, gently unscrew the mechanism and replace it with a similar mechanism.

goodluck.
