AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it

Gerryn, my Capitole MK II reads Maxell 80m CDRs without any problem.

Aron, I agree with you that the volume level has to be raised substantially to be able to listen! Maybe I need more efficient speakers.

Twopippis, do you know why the need for P3 over P2 (if the P2 ever existed?).

I do not know what Sattothestars means by not the Marantz. My Marantz has always played everything including CDRs, no exceptions. Bad rap!

I think I might know why some of the players are not playing the CD-Rs. You have to wait for the player to load and onces it show the total track time on the display then press play. If you put in a CD-R and press play right away it show a error messages, but if you wait till it shows the total disc time on the front, then press play it should be fine. At least that's how mine is. Hope I helped.

TPG.Obviously you do not read things correctly.It is not the Marantz.in other words there is absolutley nothing wrong with it.It is the type of cdrs that are being played on the Captiole.Strnge how you are the only one to totaly misconstrue that statement.

Marantz recommends TDK or Sony on their newer CDB's. I have had the best luck with these brands. BAD luck with Maxell, Memorex, etc.
Marantz recommends Mitsui Gold for their older CDB. I was originaly using Mitsui but had some read erors and ruined discs because the Marantz would crash between tracks when burning CDR's.
This is because the Mitsui's have much tighter tolerances on their burning tracks (the concept is correct even if my explanation isn't) and unless you have a very accurate laser placement there can be problems.
