    I'm not sure what you mean by "given away with newspapers". If you mean small or odd-shaped discs, then you may have to run those in another player or your computer. BTW, you really shouldn't use those odd-shaped discs at all, as they create balance problems.

    They are normal DVD,s usually older ones just given away by newspapers,magazines to boost circulation,almost all the national newspapers do it all the time nowadays ...

    hi :)
    have no problem with my Sony
    have you tried cleaning the laser?
    check the give away (they are abused) for scratches etc.
    if your recorder is new get it replaced as faulty
