--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is part of the review of the Pioneer DVR-231s

DVD recorder can be used to copy any homemade videos, such as camcorder videos and videos made from TV shows, and can also copy Laserdiscs, and other non-copyguarded video material.

However, just as you can't copy commercially made video tapes to another VCR due to Macrovision anti-copy encoding, the same applies to making copies to DVD. DVD recorders cannot bypass the anti-copy signal on commercial VHS tapes or DVDs. If a DVD recorder detects the anti-copy encoding on a commercial DVD it will not start the recording and display some sort of message either on screen or on its LED front panel display that it detects

Your problem has nothing to do with that. What's the review is saying is that you cannot put a commercial DVD into a separate DVD player, play it into the DVR-231 and record the input. You can, you just need a Sima GoDVD or one of the other Macrovision breaking devices that allow you to do it. They are around $70. I use one to copy a number of VHS tapes I have to DVD.

I play PC made copies just fine as well. Normally I use a separate DVD player for them, but they play on my DVR-531H just fine. I have a Panasonic player I originally bought for $175 many years ago, found another just like it at a pawn shop for $20. As a backup.
