To add to what GPB said. I have a settop DVD player that won't play any RW media at all. So check your owners manual for that. It does play -R, +R, and +R book type changed to DVD-Rom. Your burner has to support book type setting for the +R change.

-R's are the most compatible especially with older set top players.

Actually you may have to burn one of each (DVD-R and a +R) to see what your player likes

I've a cheap and cheerful one here that plays anything I feed into it (even RWs) but my sister in law's top end machine is as picky as anything over what it accepts.

No hard and fast rule - try it and see
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed
