5 out of 5 stars How to avoid the "C:13 and a message saying 'The Disc is Dirty." error.   August 29, 2008
Martinez36 (Kent)
I currently have a HX510 which is great and i have with-held upgrading this unit for the simple fact that the newer models do not have the record pause function which is for me a major plus (and why oh why cant Sony have decent picture search speeds like all other dvd players and indeed their own players?) x1.5 too slow, x2 umm the best your gonna get and x3 too fast.
Anyway, to resolve the issue of the "C:13 and a message saying 'The Disc is Dirty." error this seems to be caused by using 16x dvd discs (which are now more commonly available). I've switched to using x8 speed discs from Woolies and they record using high speed dubbing all the time. 16x discs produce the "C:13 error. i think the manual actually says something about 8x being the max.
Hope that helps others and just sorry i didn't this review earlier as by the sounds of it, it would have saved alot of frustration for others.
Otherwise a great machine with superb picture quality
Oh and re the unreliable videoplus timer recordings.... just check the auto date & clock setting is correct (ie the date and time are correct) - changing it from eg ITV to BBC1 or just turn it off to manual and then auto again under the system menu and the clock settings will re-set the date and time and *should* allow it to work properly again

I have had this unit some time now and it is very simple to record and playback programmes. I use the edit features quite a lot and they work well. Very good for downloading from DV camcorder. I would not be without it. My only issue is that it freezes every couple of weeks and I have to power cycle it before it springs back to life so I have missed the odd recording. Thank goodness for the BBC iplayer. However I'm going to try turning off the auto update as helpfully suggested by others. Thanks Mrs J Smith.

Many thanks to Mrs J. Smith. My HXD710 had been freezing on a daily basis. Three weeks ago I switched off automatic updates as she suggested and haven't had a problem since.
