Do you mean it *completes* recordings most of the time and sometimes
fails to complete one? All this is it with same media brand?
Yes, I am testing making backups continuously to the same dvd.
And most of the times it completes recordings well:

Utterly strange, sounds more like deficient hardware... If upgrading
firmware doesn't help, I'd suggest to try to replace the unit...
It is a brandnew unit...

newer firmware avaiable, 1.08 and even 1.09 were observed...

another reason to upgrade firmware... A.
Just an unknown media id or bad one?
I use a Philips DVD+RW (on the recommended media list
for NEC-1300A).
