where to find blank disks for denon dcr-w1500

I still see tham at best Buy,and you can buy them online as well. I have that same Denon and use the TDK or Sony and get great results. If you want higher quality Music Direct sells a MFSL blank but it is not cheap.

I've used these guys before:

Get the ones that say for "music" or audio. Don't get the ones that say for computer or data,they won't work.The lowest speed usually works best.2X speed might get by.The Sony and TDK are my choice also.

Yes, you need the ones that say for music or audio, not computer/data.

I've bought them recently at Best Buy. I suspect Target, Walmart and any specialty record/music stores still around have them. Ive used Memorex and Maxell most recently with my Denon recorder.

Clever opening line to your post! LOL.

A minor point first: I believe that should be CDR-W1500, not DCR-W1500.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the reason the unit won't work with cd-r's that are not designated as being for audio is NOT due to any speed issues. I believe the reason is that built into the cost of the audio-designated cd-r's is a royalty provision intended to compensate the recording industry for the monetary losses which they presume each copy results in. And to enforce that provision, cd recorders (as opposed to computers) are designed to work only with disks that indicate to the recorder that they have that designation.

My suspicion is therefore that current disks that may have higher speed ratings than those which existed when the machine was designed will work fine, as long as they are designated as being for music/audio.
