I have just bought a 2nd hand CD recorder, I bought a box of 10 cd-r80 music cds in separate boxes and they all recorder perfectly. I am now using a spindle of 25 cds from the same manufacturer but some record all the way through whereas some of them give the repair message part way through.
Is it likely that these are slightly damaged cds or does the cd recorder need some attention?
Yesterday I got some repair messages flash up then afterwards I maaged to record three whole cds so I am inclined to think the recorder is working properly

You may have hit on a bad batch.

The law of averages says that no box of blanks is fault-free - simply sling the duds and try again - it is more likely to be your discs than your player.

Thanks for the quick reply, I have been using minidiscs for recording on for 12 years completely trouble free and was hoping cds would be the same.
As recording on cds is a new experience for me I just wanted to know the likely problem
