Sony DVD Recorder RDR-GX300

I have the above DVD Recorder. I know that you can Chase Playback with it
but I cannot get the menu.

I have bought DVD-RW disks (Sony) and recorded in correct mode (VR) but
still cannot see this menu.

Hopeless trying to get support from Sony. After sales is appalling.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks

Chris

are they 2x speed dvd-rws otherwise it wont work and possibly you wont
see the menu item. There was a short thread about this a liitle while
ago - and that person was using Sony dvds and the solution was to
change the disc to a 2x ( not 1x or 4x) I use Maxell 2x that work ok.
it should appear in the tools menu when you start recording ( after
about 1 minute or so)

It doesn't actually say. It's a Sony DVD-RW for Video/Data - Version 1.1
with CPRM - that's all it has on it.

But your reply is useful and I will assume (hopefully) wrong discs. Will
tray Maxell.

Many thanks for replying.

if its version 1.1 then they should be ok as I think that it means 2x

What I don't get is several dvd recorders I've seen of the same dvd
format have the same speed name for different lengths f each other.

such as one recorder has SP spped as two hours and another has SP speed
as three hours, yet both recorders are DVD+R format.

or both recorders are DVD-R format.
