Unfortunately, the EWR20V5 does not handle DVD +R or DVD +RW discs for recording. It can play back some of these discs, when recorded and finalized on another recording device. However, it may not recognize some DVD +R/+RW discs at all. This recorder recognizes all DVD -R/-RW discs. This is a common manufacturing design for DVD/VCR recorders.
See the first page of the Quick Guide for the EWR20V5 for the disc limitations: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/46971/Emerson-Ewr20v5.html . I hope this helps.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help. Where can I buy DVD-R/-RW ? Not available locally."
I've usually found DVD-R at Walmart, Staples, and Office Depot. These are both in the stores and online. Amazon also carries the DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. For Staples.com, seehttps://www.staples.com/Blank-Media/cat_... . Searching Google for DVD-R media gives me a long list. Just choose the quantity of discs per package; you may want to check the manual for the EWR20V5 for their recommended manufacturers. (My Zenith VCR/DVD recorder manual recommended select brands of DVD-R discs. I haven't had a problem with those brands with the old device.)
I hope this helps. However, I'm in the U.S.; that may be a factor in the local inventory.

Try burning your DVD using some other DVD burning programs, the discs burned by these programs should work on most devices

I have this same problem so I called Sharp. This model is a little older. When you buy the disks there is a number with an X after it. If you buy the - R disk the number has to be 4X or less, for the -RW it has to 2X or less. Apparently they can still be bought at Office Depot or online.

I purchased my EWR20V5 unit in December 2006. After 10 months usage it developed several problems
I've almost thrown this unit out several times, but I wasn't sure if I had to get the same unit to finalize my disks?. Is there a solution for all these problems?

Try using a lens cleaning disc (any brand). You'll find them at Wal-Mart in the electronics section, or even in your grocery store, probably near the cameras.
