AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it

I had the first generation chip, and it played almost all CDRs flawlessly. I had a few problems though, but it seemed to be random and not at all linked to a brand or certain type of CDs/CDRs. Multimedia Audio CDs with enhanced video practically never worked.

I use a plextor burner and all of the CDRs i used on it played perfectly (burned 1x).

Every problem cited above and that everyone has experienced should be solved with the new P3 chip, according to the manufacturer.

Cheers

I have had no problems with my scd-1 playing cdr's even my 11 year old philips cd-80 plays them with no prblem. I use what ever blanks are on sale and burn them on my dell computer. I second everyones concern about the audio aero I auditioned one before deciding to buy the scd-1 and thought for the money the build quality of the audio aero was not good.

I have spoken directly with Jean-Paul at Audio Aero. He said it is strictly the CD-R's you use. He said that the P3 chip has nothing to do with reading the CD-R's nor does it relate to what type of CD burner you do the burning on. I have a NAD CD dubbing deck and am using "made for audio" TDK CD-R's and they are not working on the MKII.

Twopippis: Thanks for the information. I am using 80 minute Maxell CD-R's also "made for audio" and they are not working on my MKII either. So....as you put it, the problem may be the manufacturer of the blank CD-R's vs. the MKII itself. Guess its time to try another brand of blank CD-R's.

Gerryn, try the Mitsui golds - no problem with them (so far) on a Capitole II using a Marantz CDR 500, at least the 74 minute type.
