Re: [ARSCLIST] Sony CD Recorder--help needed

A technology-challenged colleague just purchased a Sony CD
recorder/copier, RCD W500C-W100 and he and I have just spent a
frustrating morning trying to get it to do more than just play CDs. If
anyone owns this model, can I put you and him in contact? (Machine and
manual are not in my possession, so any advice that involves the manual
or the remote won't be of use to me.) This has to be one of the worst
written manuals I've ever encountered, but that's neither here nor
there. Suffice to say that pressing the requested buttons on the remote
and inserting a disc in the "play" tray and a blank in the "record" tray
do not produce anything more than "blank disc" in the display panel.
Perhaps I am being simplistic, but did you try writing to "Digital
Audio" discs (commonly called music discs)? It is a consumer unit, hence
will not write to discs which do not pay royalties.

Interestingly, it warns about 'protected' source discs but does not
mention that Sony was the worst offender.
