Tevion DVD Recorder at Aldi

Hi, picked up a DVD Record from Aldi earlier this week, for £65. Everything seems to work ok, it has two scarts (RGB output), 5.1 outputs etc.
The only problem I have is this: when I burn +R or -R discs, they work fine and play back okay in the same player, but won't play at all on my Pioneer player. They also work ok in my computers. I finalised the disks, so this isn't the problem.
So this post has two functions - to tell people about the player (if Aldi have any left) and also to ask whether anyone else has bought one, and have they had replay problems on different machines? It might just be my Pioneer player, although it plays other -Rs and +Rs without a problem...
Cheers

you may find that you need to finalise the disk before it will work in your standalone player.
It may also be called 'closing' the disk.
That will probably mean you cannot record any more to the disk once that is done. (unless you are using R/W DVD's, which you can then wipe again)

As I said in my OP, I have finalised the disk!!0

Some of the better DVD players have trouble playing DVDR disks. Most of the cheap ones will play anything.0

Try some other brands of DVDR/DVDRW, it's worked before for me.
My Sony is very picky Verbatim work all the time, some don't work at all and some when the Sony feels like it.Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out alive0 -
As mentioned, some players are very picky - try a google search of your pioneer model number with something like "best dvd-d dvd+r" - might help.Be an amateur! Professionals built the Titanic, amateurs built the Ark!!
Be sure of always hitting your target.....
Shoot first, and whatever you hit, call the target

should give you an idea if your machine is selective about it's disks.

I can confirm the idea of 'brand' awareness can be an issue.
My folks have a Grundig writer that produces Philips DVD+RW that one of their DVD players doesn't like, but swap to a Verbatim DVD+RW and then it works fine.
Another factor CAN be the video writing FORMAT - eg SP, EP, LP as sometimes a player won't like the longer length formats.0
