    I have a ilo DVDRHD04. I put a disc in it to copy a home movie that is currently on the hard drive but it won't recognize any disc. Every disc I put in it says "invalid disc". I have used several different dics manufactures with no success. Has anyone else had this problem or better question, a solution? I have emailed ilo about this and there has neen no reply.

    Ilo is made by Liteon (I own one). I use Verbatim discs with no problems.

    Hi totallylo, I own 4 HD04 and all of them got to the state as yours, "invalid disc". A temporary fix that might help for a while is cleaning the lens, but I seriously think that it's time to replace the drive. All my HD04s have new PC drives in them, and I've changed a number of drives in R04s, Liteon 5007, 5045, 740 and 760. The real challenge is to find a fully compatible burner these days. The older Liteon (and some Sony burners manufactured by Liteon) are fully compatible, meaning they fast-forward commercial and DVD+Rs, newer Liteon burners won't FF and freeze which you have to either unplug or press power on bothe the remote and the recorder at the same time, a little easier on the back !!!

    Here's a good (and long) thread on drive replacement speciaffically oin the ILO HD04, even if the thread are older check the ones on compatible drives also.

    and this thread shows pics

    and here's an extensive list of drives that work in the HD04, evenb though it's a list for Liteon 5005, the list is also good for the ILOs and other older Liteons, some fully compatible others with no FF, I personally installed burners with no FF in a couple of my HD04s, I'm ok with that because I only use them as burners and I use other players to watch anyway.

    Good luck
