Why Won't My XA2 Play +R,+RW Media? My XA2 will not play +R Media.I don't understand because some others have stated that their unit will play this format.I can only playback +R dics when I set the resolution to 1080i or lower.Has anyone else noticed this problem besides me?If I do set the player for 1080P for +R media,my picture displays for about 2 seconds and then a black screen for about 2 seconds etc.This will continue throughout the whole movie if I allow it to continue.How are some able to play this format and some not?I wonder if the people who are able to play this format without problems are setting their resolution below 1080P.Anyone with any feedback on this issue please respond.There's gotta be something wrong somewhere.

Maybe the video on the disc is recorded in 1080i. If the XA2 is getting a signal from the DVD+r telling it it is interlaced then it will shut down. My A3 can play the recorded disc but my A1 can not after I upgraded it's firmware.

+R was Sony's abomination that should never have been invented, just like SACD, which is DVD-audio in disguise.

SACD and DVD-Audio are different. It's no more a "disguise" than a cassette tape "hiding" an 8 track.

i had an XA2 and it played almost all of my +r and +rw. I was playing at 1080i only.

Glad to know that purchased videos work on the X-Fi. They did *not* work on the X-Fi Style that I bought, so I returned that one. Has anyone tried hooking the X-Fi to an external video screen? Any comments on how best to do that? If it's easy and inexpensive enough, I might try the X-Fi.Thanks, - Ted

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

It cannot read my DVD-RW's in VR format. I cannot comment on the +R, +RW, -R or the -RW's in video format right now because I have not tried them.

Most likely because the Sony player is an older model that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW disks.I have a Sony DVP-S7000 (first Sony DVD player) and it does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW, but my Sony Playstation 2 does.Check your manual if it says anything about it being able to play the writable formats.This information will also usually be indicated on the face plate of the unit, if it can play the additional formats in addition to the standard DVD format.

Did you adjust audio settings-BD audio settings to "direct"? You need to feed direct, not pcm, to the 606. I have this problem with my sony s-550, but now they are mates matched in heaven. Just finished watching Traitor: dolby trueHD, Max Payne:DTS-HDmaster audio, The Dark Knight: dolby digital blu-ray. The sound is seriously lossless like what they said.Also, have you adjusted preset listening mode in setup menu of the 606? Set Dolby TrueHD to Dolby TrueHD , and such in that sub menu?Hope this help, BTW, the 606 is the beast once that TrueHD or HD-Mastr light are up !

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

Andy,I used some SW called Sonic to format a DVR+R disc and copied/burned a few Xvid (.avi) files to it. But the 5960 was not able to read/load the files. What went wrong? How did you burn files to DVD+R disc?Thanks,Vicne

When I last checked it was incompatible but don't let that deter you. I added a Roku 2 XS for the much better menuing it offers than using the built in Internet browser and a far smoother streaming experience. With broadband &gt;3Mbs the Hi Def images I see on this set are much better than I have seen on many theater screens. It really has changed how I see films.

Hi, it sounds like you are using DVR RW's? Do they say RW on them? That usually means you can rewrite on them. The -R discs only let you write on them once and then it is final. If you insert the disc it should not format it. If I burn songs or files onto one of these and put it in my DVD drive it will only let me listen to the songs or look at the files. It will not let me burn anything else on them. Hope that helps.

I played this unit on both of my 1080P TVs. One is way more detailed than the other. There is about 5 year difference between the two. So I think it matters on your TV. Also this unit does not play all files as stated.

This RCA TV definitely plays DVDs! It was a Christmas gift for my daughter and she said that it plays her DVD movies flawlessly. I cannot answer about other region formats and have had no experience with using a dish, but it works beautifully with Roku streaming video and computer streaming. Neither of us have BluRays and know nothing about their requirements. Actually, when I was researching I didn't see any models with built-in BluRay - but that might have been because I wasn't looking for Blu-Ray. I have the same model (one year older) and we are both very pleased with audio, picture quality, color and ease of operation. and yes, it can be mounted. We are both very happy with this choice.

Since my earlier response about it not playing DVD-RW's in VR format I have tried it on DVD+RW's, and also on DVD-R's. It played the +RW's and the -R's just fine. I do not have any +R's nor any -RW's in video format, but it is probably only the -RW's in VR format that it will not play.

I have made DVDs that play on other players. You need to make sure the setup is done properly, selecting the aspect ratio and DVD compatible for the sound. Also, you need to finalize the disk after you are done recording (P. 122 in my manual). Finally, make sure you use compatible media. I have used DVD-R successfully. I hope this helps.

I downloaded it and I could not get it to play either. I have a Samsung UHD TV and I also tried putting the clip on the 4K movie disc pack that I received with the TV. It also would not play on that hard disk through the USB port. However, it will play on my computer. I do have another Youtube mp4 clip that plays through the disk pack in 4k. I moved that clip to the KdLinks and it came back as unsupported format also. So, I agree that the KdLinks will not play 4k video without some kind of an upgrade.
