I still use a DV-50S for playing CD’s, SACD’s and Audio DVD’s on my main system and think it sounds great even after all these years. However, I haven’t used it as a video source since blu-rays came along.
That said, I just tried an old DVD-R and it played fine. The DV-50 was billed as a "universal" player back in the day and although I seem to recall it getting cranky with some -RW discs, this was rare and everything else seemed to work with no problem. How was the DVD-R you attempted to play created?
