I own that recorder & the newer panasonic one with picture minus.I have 100s of discs recorded on these 2 recorder players.generics are crap most wont finalize.Ive tried all brands.I like sonys & philips the best.they have to be 4.7 8x dvd-r discs.16x will not work on the panasonics.note on your recorder generics wont work on it.even the brand names I tried not all would finalize,the other recorder I bought the dmr es 20 does better with generics & brand names.its cheaper & better than the older recorder.plus I was able to finalize a lot of discs that were recorded on the older machine.plus if it did not finalize on the olde machine the newer one added the picture menu automatically.
