Please can anyone shed any light on this problem, my (replaced under warranty, but with a b****y refurbished machine) DVDR has stopped recording/formatting and playing certain discs...comes up with 'error C1300... the disc is dirty' This happens even with brand new out of the packet quality discs.
can I do anything to fix this problem myself or will it be a hand in the pocket job ?
I've been using Sony and Verbatim DVD+RW, not had a problem with them for months, but the machine now says every disc I insert needs cleaning, I phoned the Sony 'helpline' (a contradiction in terms !) and was told to use a cleaning disc, but having read the manual, it's not recommended for this model. Should I risk it and use a cleaning disc ?
What's really p'd me off about this is that the original unit, bought new from Curry's developed a fault and was replaced by them as a straight swap, for what I believed to be another new machine, but when this one started throwing a wobbly, I looked for the serial number on the back and found a discrete 'refurbished' sticker !! now of course, they don't want to know about it !!
