In about the year 2000 to about 2003, there were a number of DVD and CD
player models that would only play silver pressed DVD's and silver pressed
CD-R disks. This was done on purpose by a number of manufactures as a
deterrent to prevent the copying and distribution of music that should not
be given away for free.

Today, this is all changed, because these companies soon realized that they
were not selling very many of these machines.

Make sure that unit is at the latest firmware. That is one possible
solution, but not guaranteed. There is also a class action lawsuit
involving those dvd players, because of playability problems. Just
Google Toshiba dvd player lawsuit.

You may find that your DVD player will play CD-RW.

I find I could play CD-RW disks on my old DVD player.
Some of the older DVD players are not designed to play CD-R disks.
Check the manual that came with the DVD player.
