Imation CDRs and Sony Writer
Is it completely impossible to burn Imation CD-Rs using sony CD-Writers? I can't seem to get this pairing to work out. This happened with two different Sony CDWriters (52x24x52 and 40x16x48) and about 3 Imation CD-Rs.
Is it because they're competitors? do these Imation CD-Rs have some kind of pattern on their writable side that prevents the Sony Writer from doing it's job or is it the other way around? |

topnode,
When you insert the Imation disk, do you get the pop up to insert one? My older Sony cd-rw would not burn to anything but Sony disks, however it would read other brands. Carl |

I've been hearing about problems with Imation discs in other writers lately too. Got a customer with several Plextor drives that don't like them either, he just tossed a whole spindle and went with Memorex, no problem. Customer with a Sony drive had problems with Memorex and had to get Sony discs, go figure. My TDK (Lite-On) drive hasn't choked on anything - yet.

whats the speed of your Sony writer Raftero? the imation disks i'm using are 80min/700MB 1x-48x compatible.
it seems the only time this combo almost works is when i put the write speed to 8x, I say almost bec. Nero 5 goes thru the motions of writing and actually finishes the writing phase, but when i have nero test the integrity of the copy (verify) , it fails |

It's the Imation disks that are the problem. I have a Sony CDRW and a Plextor. For every 1 disk that actually gets written to, 2 disks turn into coasters. If I use ANY other manufacturer's media, I never have a problem.

Have a sony writer, never had a problem with the CD-Rs I used on it (Philips, PNY, TDK) But I would check the speed of the media your using, and then lower the speed of the burn process (From XX Speed to Xx Speed).
Hope That Helps, -Joe |
