Page 1 of Mico e111i recorder - compatability with other players?

Hi folks

Does anyone know if the discs recorded on this machine play ok in other machines? It seems to be a recurring theme with budget makes that they don`t, but would like some advice on the query with this one and it`s reliability if poss. Thanks

I have two of these machines (R311), recordings made on these machines have played on everything I have:

2 off Cyberhome 400s.
MP Man portable player.
LG Home Cinema\DVD player.
Something I got from Richer Sounds for my dad at Christmas.

Its reliability is fine IMO, most of the problems associated with them was down to not reading the manual (or reading the manual incorrect paragraph & not looking at the pictures correct picture in one instance).

Found someone selling one?

I`ve got an R311 and its recordings play fine on my other DVD players including my PlayStation2.

one more quick query on this one. I bought one today - all looks good so far, but I want to check something out.

The finalised discs don`t play on my 5 year old LG DVD player but thats not unusual as it doesn`t play alot of DVDRs that I get given. I`ve played it on my flatmates PS2 and it seems to play fine, but the menu for the disc looks somewhat unfinalised. Is this just the way it is? It has the mico logo in the background and three thumbnails for one film. The main one for the film, a blank one, and another one giving details about the dvd. Just wanna check this is normal before I get settled into having the DVD recorder around!

Top one is the details of the disc.
The next one is the film.
The blank one is one that was used earlier\ partially recorded over or wiped*.
Repeat above as often as each individual disc is used.

*Prior recorded\erased space cannot be used in conjunction with unused space, if a program exists between wiped space & unused space, the program in the way will get recorded over.

That`s cool. Just making sure that it`s normal. A bit cumbersome in that way, but great quality recording and playback, I have to say.
