Yeah, I have a JVC 7 disc DVD changer for my home theater and according to
the manual, it plays - disks but NOT + disks. However I have played + disks
in the unit before with no problem. My main concern is if I buy a + burner,
I will get it home, burn a movie and then try to play it in my home theater
system and then all of a sudden, it will decide not to play a + disk! I
want to avoid this problem if at all possible.
