NewB--finalizing

I have a Philips DVDR75 which does a credible job of downloading and creating DVD+RW's of my child's piano recital Hi8 videos and does OK with TV videos of fave programs.

I tried to play these DVD's on my Cyberhome 300 and cheap Magnavox all in one TV, which should do it. The 300 clearly states in the manual that DVD+R and +RW should play. Instead, the program is visible but not clear and has pixels as if I did not do something, like "finalizing".

Unfortunately, the "finalizing" step is for +R not +RW and there is no proviso for this in the instruction manual.

Interestingly, on the better DVD players (Pioneer Elite DV-47Ai), they work fine.
