JVC XV-S502 DVD Player

[waggs]

Can anyone tell me if there is a specific brand dvd that will play in this player - I have tried Maxell and Sony and have had no luck.

I am using DVD Shrink 3.2 w/ Nero to backup the DVDs and they will play on a number of other stand-alone DVD players, but not on mine.

Can anyone help? please?

A quick check at videohelp.com shows most use dvd+r media. Try that, and burn at slower speed, 2x or 4x. Get good media. Lately Fuji dvd+r have been manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. Make sure it's made in Japan and not taiwan.
