problem with levinson no 37?

I have a 37 and have had similar problems. However, it's usually with CD's that are longer than 74 minutes. I don't have that particular CD. I don't think it's the DAC, and I'm sure the 37 gives you a message like BAD TOC or NO DISC. You should contact Madrigal, and perhaps send them the CD and see what they can tell you.

That's weird to me. I haven't been able to get any copies to play in the 37.

I'm going to try it again. If I recall I got a BAD DISC error. It has been a long time since I tried it, and it's possible I have not done this with my new writter. Will let you know. My hybrid CDs read fine. I do have at least two Rhino discs that I can't get to read in this player, but they read fine in other players in the house.

I burned another one last night. I got the E TOC BAD SPIN BAD DISC messages. Would not play. This was on the best burner I've used (Yamaha CDRW-F1), Mitsui gold CD-R, and burned at 1x with Nero. We use this for our masters and the quality is superb, but the 37 won't play it.

I actually have not contacted anyone--even though I know a few people there. I assumed that it just did not play CD-Rs--and designed this way from the start. Most of my high end equipment (and even not so high end like my Sony DVP9000ES) does not play CD-Rs. Yes I know some people have gotten CD-Rs to play in this model Sony, but the manual specifically states it will not play them, and I have not been able to get it to play them. My $100 Dynaco DVD player, plays everything from CD-V to CD-RW and with no problems. I don't really care that much about whether or not the 37 plays CD-Rs because it resides where the collection is. I would care if my car couldn't play CD-Rs.
