Techwood DVD Recorder not working

Hi,

I bought a DVD Recorder and after a month all it says on the LCD front panel is "preparing".
It does this for hours then the time comes on. I think great it might work. It then says "Preparing" again.

It doesnt let me do anything. Turn it off, press play, eject. Nothing :confused:

Can some1 plz help
:beer:

  • You don't mention the model of the device for other members to familiarize with !!

    And after only a month, return it for a replacement/repair.

    They are entiltled to effect a repair rather than replace at this point.

    After a Google search, it seems this make is fussy on the media. Are you using the correct DVD's for your device, perhaps you have a cheap make, dual layer or the wrong +/- combination.

    Hi ,

    The model is Techwood AEDVDRS7

    I bought it on eBay with a 1 month warranty. It said it was refurbished but fully working as new. I've sent him messages for advice but nothing?

    I used a Samsung DVD-R
  • Give a cd cleaning disk a shot in your machine. Can't hurt to try.
