@cleeds...is 100% correct. I've had a Harman Kardon CD recorder since the day it came out.
You MUST use "Music" or "Audio" labeled CD blanks.
Desktop and Laptop computers use different blanks than the standalone CDR machines do.
where and how to find blank "music" CD's
I recently came into possession of a TEAC LPR 400 turntable that can copy vinyl to CD. The problem is that apparently, I need RIAA (recording industry of America) approved music CD's and not the data CD's that are more common. The music CD's have a flag embedded in them that the manufacturer paid royalties to RIAA for lost revenue. Does anyone know where to get them, and/or how to tell the difference between the two if you are on ebay or similar site?
