I have this Panasonic DVD Recorder and the problem is that when I try and write the name on the disc and press SET, instead of trying to writing to the disc the unit switches off and resets itself and then displays an error message.

Error has occurred
Press Enter

Please check the disc

This happens on quite a lot of discs

Mine did something similar and it was the laser gone bad.... you've done well if it's only just doing this, mine did it after being about 2 years old and only having recorded about 30 DVD's and played about the same. I chucked mine out as an economical repair wasn't really practical.

I have had it for about 10 years. Would a DVD Head Clean be required.

You could try, but it's not a terribly effective solution - even the far better manual cleaning isn't very effective, as you can't clean the 'inside' parts which is where the problem most likely is (and if the outside is dirty, the inside will be as well).

As a professional engineer the policy is to replace the laser, not attempt to clean it - and this is also the policy from the manufacturers,

Lasers wear out with use. My Sony DVD recorder allows me to check the hours of use of the laser when used for writing and reading.
