First of all, turn off and unplug the unit. Wait a minute, or so, to let any electricity floating around in the VRDVC20 to disappear. Take a small, paper clip and bend it open so you have a long, straight part to use for the next step. Find the little hole on the front of the machine, squeezed right between the "pause" and "record" buttons (it's a very small hole and nearly hidden by the faceplate): insert the long portion of the paper clip into the hole, push a tad, and the drawer pops slightly open. Most tray devices (DVD and CD) have such emergency holes and procedures. Good luck! First of all, turn off and unplug the unit.

I have done several recording from vhs to dvd without any problems so maybe if you could provide me a few more details I could steer you in the right direction. The instruction manual is quite complicated and it is easy to miss a important step so tell me what you did any I'll try and sort out the problem. If you have the instruction manual list the steps found in it so I can be sure you are doing the right things.

liteon.com use to have free downloads for their dvd recorders not certain if they still do. Occasionally you will see owners manual for sale on Amazon or eBay.

Yes it does have a eject button. However my iMac does not have an internal DVD. The eject button does not do anything with my LG external DVD.

I have had the same problem using other devices with Windows 7 (which as a "disk operating system" is a total bust!) Sometimes it helps to plug in a different memory card or USB device before reinserting the first card or device- give that a shot. Windows 7 allows me to eject the drive from Windows Explorer which works better than using the icon in the notification area of the taskbar.

I buy the DVD's and a friend records them for me since I don't have that capability. But I would check out these links: http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/29636-disc-in-burner-not-recordable-help-please/ and also http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/dvd-burner-says-disc-is-not-recordable-dvd.162056/ I assume it may be a software program glitch. If using a computer, I'm not computer savvy enough to say for sure. If using an external DVD recording device - - I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be or more help.

I have had many DVD recorders and players and have never had a problem playing them back on a different machine. If Finalizing is an option under Disk Management, then you do need to finalize before removing it from the recording device.

I use "copy' and that seems to work. Good luck- every time I want to print, I have to insert the disc and reinstall.

there are two eject buttons on the right side of the case. The top one is for the included dvd player. I opened the door and there is no "pinhole" eject mechanism on the faceplate of the dvd drive. This was a surprise to me. Many software players also include a software eject as well. Hope this answer is sufficient for your needs. Good luck.

Also having problems: from the USB (as the dvd drive no longer recognizes discs, "Insert Disc" always pops up) tried .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .mov and none are recognized. will try other conversions.

I bought this particular DVD several months ago and am more than satisfied. As a matter of fact, I placed a new order of the same just days ago. However, they are recommended in the Owner's Manual of my recorder. You may be better helped by simply calling the company of your recording unit to discuss your problem. Good luck, Lynne.

We had to return that DVD recorder as it didn't work. They were then out of stock, so I ended up getting just a Phillips DVD player instead. (It's been great!)Sorry, I can't help you.Suggestion though - Contact.the Phillips website and you can pull up the different manuals for every model. See if they show you the different ways to configure the wiring. You'll have your answer. If not - call their customer help line/contact number and give them the model number. They can tell you. Hope this helps.

Insert the disc and follow the prompts. If u have problems, try restarting the computer.

I am having the same problem. I ended up using my external DVD writer with my Dell. I wanted to import directly to my Mac so I could edit, but Sony didn't put a firewire on this recorder. I can copy the DVD from the camcorder on my PC, but I can't figure out how to edit it on my Mac.

The first suggestion is to check the wiring. I had similar problems and took the camera down and connected it to DVD and everything worked. I then replaced the entire lenght of wire and the camera is still working.

You have to go to setup and either turn on auto finalize or go to setup after you record and go to DVD record and select finalize. The unit has worked very well for me. Ron

Yes, you can only eject the cd/DVD w a mouse. A lot like ejecting an iPod from an iMac.
