New Dvd Player. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jack77]

Hello fellow TV Fans, can anyone answer my questions?

I bought a Panasonic DVD-Ram player which also records on DVD-R
I have not had the damn player a week yet, but already it is starting to give me problems.

When I bought the DVD Recorder, I also bought 4 TDK Blank Discs to record on with no problem, but yesterday I bought 2 new packs of the TDK discs (15 in each pack) & already I have had problems recording on them.
I will start recording & after a few seconds, the player will shut down & say "RECOVER"

This already happened to me on three different new discs!
I opened up another pack of the 15 discs I bought thinking maybe it was the first pack, but it happened on the second set of discs too.
Now I can't even get my player to open or close & get the damn disc out!

I tried unplugging the player & rebooting but it still will not come out?
Has anyone else had any problems like this or with a Panasonic DVD Recorder?

On top of that, I noticed that if I keep the player on for more than an hour it already starts to get hot & when I take out the disc it is warm!
Is this normal for a DVD Recorder?

I would love to hear from all of you who own DVD Recorders & what your input is on all of this???

I think I need to go back to the store this weekend & return my player & I was thinking about getting a Phillips instead?
PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks
Jack
