    I had no problem playing DVD-R's on my 1040. Sounds like something is wrong with the burner, maybe it doesn't automatically finalize the disc?

      Disks won't play in a standard DVD player until they have been finalized. That would be the first thing I would check.

          You have to burn from your PC, not from a Recorder, the media on these are ussually slower than the ones you burn on your PC. Try getting Ridata or Taiyu Yudens and Verbatims and that should solved your problem. Here's a DVD media that will give your Rotel DVD players a problem eg. TDK- they skip and freeze, Pro-Disc is another bad media for Rotel. There are cheap ones that certainly work good, but those 2 stay away.

              I tried again and the dvdr dosen't play, but plays on a $150 dvd player. In fact, the dvdr plays on all the dvd players in my home, except the Rotel, I think I will return it for a differnet one. It doesn't make sense.

                Dear Joy and Boombox,

                What are you using to burn the DVD-R?

                  My Review on the RLC-1040.
                  by ICEMAN70
                  I just finished hooking up everything to the new RLC-1040 conditioner. The first RLC-1040 i had was Faulty so got it replaced by another one which works perfect so far.

                  I listened to some music today from my RDV-1040 and it sounded more clear than ever when hooked up to the RLC-1040....

                  by bryandaws

                  by Club1820
                  So today the mrs & kids were out of the house and I had some time to really crank my system for maybe the 3rd time since I've set it up. So I am "testing" it out to see how really loud it can go. The other couple of times I've only hit maybe 75 on the 1068 volume.

                  So...
