AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it

I'm looking for a CD recorder that records to the Red Book standard. I had a very nice Marantz burner, but the Capitole could not read the CD-R's recorded on it.

Would any Capitole MKII owners comment on what model/manufacturer they have where they are having success with the AA Capitole. Thanks in advance for your help.

(By the way, my 20 year old Nak CD Player 1 will play them and my Sony SACD player will play them, but the Cap won't.)

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.

I received my Capitole MKII last week and it plays all of my CD-Rs perfectly find. Does anyone notice you have to turn the volume control (85 percent of the total volume) pretty high up to listen?

Aron,

are you running the Capitole direct ?

For CDR brands that work fine, 80m TDK work great, as well as 80m Verbatim.

Cheers

Interesting and confusing stuff, gentlemen....

Twopippis is using TDK and they DON'T work, but Badwisdom is using TDK and they work great.

Now it makes me wonder if it is the recorder and not the medium or if I have a bad chip or if I should just forget CD R's.
