***Japanese manufacturer Funai Electric***

Funai made the Magnavox DVD player/recorder and I use it quite often. It states this recorded DVD will play on Most DVD players and all Magnavox players.

Went to buy a new DVD player, and all they had was Funai, so I bought one. The remote will operate both the Funai and Magnavox players. The cases for both recorders are the same.

The Funai will NOT play the DVDs recorded from a Funai Magnavox recorder. Go figure!

Will the DVDs play on another player? Ideally, you should not be using the recorder as your main player.

My first DVD recorder was a Panasonic. After it wore out after years of use, I got one of those Magnavox ones that is really a Funai. Everything that I have recorded and finalized in either player plays in everything I put them in. DVD recorders are supposed to output the exact same sort of file as you would get on a commercial DVD.

If the DVR is a DVR-RW [gold discs] rather than a DVR+RW [silver discs], you have to 'finalize' them to be read by other DVD players. The silver discs should play on any DVD player without having to be finalized.
