There are no easy answers to this. You should start with the DVD player compatibility list at http://www.vcdhelp.com and see what it says about your player. I don't know about the UK, but some older Sony models in the US didn't support CD-R media. They worked fine with CD-RW and the old Prime Peripherals brand of CD-R discs, which are no longer available. If you have one of the older Sonys that don't support CD-R, you should either use CD-RW or buy another player. Sony players typically can only be made multi regional with expensive modifications.
