dvd recorders/dvd players

don"t get caught like i did. i bought a lg dvd recorder for $467.00 not hd, the lazer **** itself ad did not regonise any disc, so i put it in to be repaired under warranty.
while it was being repaired i bought a phillips dvd player for $99.00 upscaled to 10.80p for my plasma 1080p tv.

Oh, so that is. But i didn't get exactly what the problem was there with that DVD writer. Can you elaborate it more clearly?

Thanks anyways.
