DVD RW and Re-Recordable and recorded disks wont read?
I have a Panasonic DMR-EZ45VEBS Dvd and VHS recorder and player.
The Drive seems to fail to read DVD disks of any kind.
I have tried all permutations of check and resetting the macine to new setup. No cure.
I found dust in the DVD drawer, probably some on the lens of the drive-read mechanism.
How can I clean the lens of the machine, it is on the lower side of the drive, but not evidently accessible from the drive door when open. There must be a read lens and a Burn beam lens. Maybe both are needing a clean.
Is there any way to make the machine clean its lenses.
Unfortunately, some older dvd players and recorders only read the acceptable speed at time of manufacture. Which means if you bought it clearance a year ago it probably only read up to 8x or less. everythin now is 16x minimum. and variable speeds wont help. I would try getting a software update from the manufacturer. you can actually programm some older recorders to update speed. call customer service and hope for the best. Good luck!
