Thanks gents. The blanks I bought are: Memorex Music CD-R "Recordable Compact Discs for Home Audio Recorders and Computer Writers" 700mb, 80 minute, up to 16X speed. The other brand: Maxell CD-R Music for audio recording. 74 minutes. I had no luck, so my dad and brother tried too. Unless we're a family of idiots (quite possible BTW) then there's something wrong with this set-up. Did I buy the wrong brand of discs?
Shouldn't this be intuitive?
I bought a used Philips CDR 765 recorder from a gent here on Agon. No user manual, so I downloaded a copy from Philips' website. This is a dual tray deck, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to copy a CD from the player drawer to a blank audio CD in the recording drawer. You'd think it would be obvious, but it's not straightforward nor is it well explained in the manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeff
