Hello. - I have recently purchased a new DVD recorder, and have successfully tested it by playing a DVD recorded from a TV programme, with no problems. What I cannot understand is, when I attempt to play that DVD on a different DVD player that I have in another room, I get a message "No Disc" as though it does not recognise it. I used an Arita DVD+R dual-layer disk. Can anyone please suggest a reason and a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

Until you do that it is only guaranteed to work in the machine you recorded it on. It may also play on another recorder but even that is not absolutely reliable. But many players are unable to read recordable disks until they have been finalised.
However , even once finalised the problem may be that its dual layer.
Some players may have trouble with dual layer of either + or - or even both.
If the player is quite new it should have no trouble but if its a few years old then it could have trouble recognising any recordable let alone a DL one.
Let us know how you get on
But for playback on another DVD player it will need to be "finalised" by the DVD recorder that it was recorded on. It will be in the menu somewhere.
If the disk is not yet "finalised" then you can usually add more recordings to it (until full obviously). To watch the DVD on another player you must finalise it athough maybe you could read it on a PC without doing that.
once finalised you cannot add any more recordings onto that disk
(If it's an eraseable disk then you can obviously just erase it all and start again)
