Have a Sony RDRGX7 recorder. Bought Sony blank discs that didn't record. Contacted Sony & told I needed Digital Audio blank discs. Are these it?

Compatibility can be a major problem with some Recorders and Blank DVD's. Contact the Sony geek squad to get the correct answer. Make sure you have all the information about the discs handy. I once had to return another brand back to Best Buy.

Not honestly sure, but they *should* work. I'd recommend you do a web search first for "DVD-A" discs, of which there are several brands available. Best of luck!Edit: I just checked, and generally available information suggests that your application requires +r or +r/w discs, in which case, the answer to your original question is "No." Again, best of luck.

I was able to record videos from my computer on these disk. Hope this helps.

These Sony DVD-R Discs (for recording video) should work in your recorder because I see that it accepts DVD-R,DVD+R,& DVDRW (which arereusable DVDs) & I have always prefered Sony over the other brands - Digital Audio Blank discs (also known as Cd-R Audio discs) are for music only. I hope this helps.

Mr. Moore, the advice seems to make no sense. Isn't a "Digital Audio" disc a CD? DVD for video and CD for music, speeches, etc. I have burned hundreds of Sony DVDs over the years and not one has let me down. Be sure and use the format, DVD- or DVD+, that your recorder burns. In my experience DVD- discs will work for the vast majority of recorders, but yours might require DVD+ discs. Paul

Honestly I don't know. I do know that every recording engineer tells me that these are far and away the best most error free blanks available in the world. The company that reproduces my CDs for me charges a few cents more for this and this brand only. I've used the other brands for different purposes and has had multiple errors but when I use one of these none. As far as they're being a or b ratings? No idea. They are just the best I have ever used.

Dear Stephen, I gave your question serious thought. I even searched the web for a proper answer. Its best to contact Sony's technical dept. They will ask you for the type of recorder, model, speed etc. Regards, George Ejdaharian

Be sure you have a recorder that can use +R media first. Some recorders only work with -R media. Also be sure you DVD recorder can burn to Double Layer discs (the DL in the name.) These hold as much as a standard DVD you might rent or buy from the store, so I typically would not put HD content on them anyway. One of these discs recorded with content will play just fine in MOST standard DVD players. I say MOST as occasionally I have found a player that does not like to play -R or +R home recorded material. Hope this helps.

Greetings, yes this disc will handle just about any type of audio file. Not sure about the audio recorder, but if it's a CDR then you should be fine.The quality is much better than the no name store blank cdr, as of this date we have found none to be defective. Hope this answers your question and help in choosing. I ordered these when they where on sale....

Not sure, I have a different brand recorder. If you're looking only for music cd-rw discs these are the only brand I know of that's still out there, you might want to try one to see if it works. Otherwise try Memorex music cd-r.

Typically, no. You need "CD-R Music" discs (perform a search here on Amazon). This is for copyright reasons. They don't want us having easy digital recording capabilities.Good news: prices have come down, these discs are now somewhat affordable.

Something is wrong in the DVD-recording world. I have two recording units, a Toshiba DVR670KU and a Magnavox ZV427MG9 A that I use to record favorite programs on DVD+RWs. However, not all the brands of +RWs will work on the two machines. So far these two machines will only use Maxell and Sony +RW whereas Memorex+RW will not format on these two machines. Therefore, I suggest people should test each type of DVD before buying a given type of DVD.

I bought two of them, to find out both of them did not work!! I agree with you that our recorders did not work. I tried to return those two. I is made of China. What shall we do?

I should also mention that yes you do need to use the correct "music" discs. I used the correct discs, but my unit/s showed faults after minimal use each time. My first unit showed consistent errors, I had it repaired by manufacturer and it came back faulty again, it was replaced by the seller with another brand new unit that worked for about 3 weeks, then replaced again with another unit that worked for a few months. Finally I was fed up with this piece of junk and after much disagreement with the seller, they eventually agreed to offer me a full refund. If you can get your money back and buy a quality brand recorder, I would do that. Good luck I should also mention that yes you do need to use the correct "music" discs.

i had no problem with name brand blank dvd-r. the unit will not record from a dvr----which made the unit useless to me. it will record direct from a broadcast, but not after it has been recorded on a dvr. it will not copy dvd's with copy guard. you have to buy a program from england if you wish to do that and it costs about 60-70 dollars and works well. I hope this is of some help to you.

Very good question, Laurie. What I do, is read the reviews on amazon. People will usually have widely differing answers. If there are a LOT of negatives, I run for the hills and do not buy. If there are a LOT of very well written positives, I pay attention to each point by point comment to judge if I would be o.k., or not, with using that product. On this Sony, I can make it work. But the manual is horribly written, and at times, confusing. I tend to like this machine, but if I was to buy anopther like it, I think I might opt for a different well known brand, such as teac/tascam. Perhaps the best thing you could do, is ask your friends or neighbors what kind of CD recorder they use, and ask them "How easy is this to use, and does it give high quality recordings?" Then, they can actually show you how it works, and be there for you, if you buiy one, but have a problem. Best wishes!

The manual states: "Please use CD, CD-R and CR-RW discs bearing the 'DIGITALAUDIO' mark." It also states: "Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R or CD-RW discs may not be playable." and that "an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player." I had difficulty with consistent play back of CDs I recorded - i.e., some played fine anywhere, and some would play on the TEAC and/or my computer, but not in the car and another time the same disc would not play on the TEAC. Sometimes they would play the first track (side one of a vinyl record) and not the second track (side 2 of the record). This was quite frustrating because I was wasting discs (since they can't be re-recorded). I then got some RW discs and still had problems. When I called TEAC, I was told the discs were most likely the cause of problem and that low cost generic discs were usually the culprit - I said I was using Maxell CD-R music discs and TDK CD-RW audio discs! He suggested using Sony. I have now recorded a few on Sony discs and had no playback problems - but that may be the luck of the draw since at least 2 Maxells also worked (and still work) fine.

Also check tv settings. Is it digital or analog audio? My tv has digital input that needed a converter. I used old minidisc recorder. There is also standalone converters for around $80 iirc.

I wrote a review about how awful these are, how they fail to record when used with a DVD recorder used to record off of television. Esp. knowing that Sony's other DVD-Rs with the white-label top, intended for printing on top, are perfectly stable and work fine ALL the time. So, while I can't address your particular optical drive burner issue, I think we're dealing with BAD DVDs here that work on limited equipment--at best. The fact that a bunch of people here say they work well doesn't negate the fact that they simply don't work AT ALL on many other people's equipment.

You must make sure that the blank DVD is at least as long as what you are trying to record. The same is true with CD's. If the blank isn't long enough, it will not record anything. Check with the blank DVD suppliers to see what is available. I know that Verbatim makes a 120 minute DVD+RW., and I have recorded successfully with it.
