DVD recorder/player suddenly not reading discs.

DVD recorder/player suddenly not reading discs.

Re: My Panasonic DMR EA14 DVD recorder and player: DVD discs I've recorded & finalized myself on the Panasonic, & watched many times, suddenly not able to read/play. Error message: "Unsupportable Disc." Discs DO playback on my MacBook, & the Panasonic IS playing store-bought, pre-recorded DVD's. Also, suddenly having some difficulty recording on discs with previous recordings on them & plenty of recording time left. Hope someone can help. Thanks very much. - Julie

My Deawoo is the same - one month after warranty ran out. Will not recognise even some pre-recorded discs , and cleaning with "Laser Head Cleaning Disc" does not work. I took it apart and wiped the laser head gently with optical cleaning fluid - still the same. I think must be some electronic fault, which is too expensive at repair shop - so just buy another! (Second hand ones are cheap)
