Playing dvd on another machine

Kaye Claybourn New member Username: Kcee Post Number: 2 Registered: Aug-05	Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - 23:54 GMT I recorded a show on dvd+rw on my rca dvd/vcr recorder I just bought--tried to play it on my sansui dvd/vcr player and all I get is err msg. The recorder manual says some machines are not dvd+rw compatible--how do I find out if that is the reason--and does that mean i'm confined to watching in the room i taped it in. Thanks
