When my Toshiba DVD recorder behaved like this, it was because there was a small foreign object inside, namely a small plastic washer used as packing in a spindle of blank discs. It had stuck to a disc by static and fallen into the machine when the tray was closed. It came out when the machine was disconnected and gently tipped forward with the tray open.
