Sony DVD Player Won't Read Recordable DVDs

A TechLore "Ask the Experts" Question...

Question:

I recently purchased the new Sony DVP-NC875V/B DVD chnager.

I really like the unit but it won't play DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs (it's supposed to). I have tried both Memeorex and Sony media. Those DVDs play on my Sony DVD/VCR combo player (less than a year old) just fine.

Any ideas? I may try +Rs to see if those will play.
