DVD won't play in a Sanyo

I've tested my DVD Studio Pro produced DVD on 5 different DVD players with success, yet it WILL NOT play on a client's SANYO DVD player. Is this player too old? The disc was produced straight from my G5's DVD burner. The stock used was DVD-R. Anyone had the same problem? If so, solution?

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) I have Production Studio

It's possible that it's too old or just isn't set up for DVD-R technology. Who knows? These things are better accepted than they used to be, but strange things do happen. The best solution is to buy the client a 20 dollar DVD player that you know will play the discs. This is what the person who taught me everything about DVD authoring suggested when this problem comes up.

Either:
His old DVD player dose not suppor all formats of DVDs. (DVD+R, -R, etc.)
Or:
The DVDs you are using aren't compatible with that machine. Its not uncommon for different companies DVDs to work on certain machines and not others. Find a name that works, like memorex, verbatim, taiko yuden, etc. and keep in mind that different batches of DVDs can be different even if from the same company.
