I'm full of questions today...

Anyway, I've just noticed that my player seems to be having trouble playing some CDRs. Initially I though maybe the lens was dirty (thus my earlier post), but it seems that any CDR that has a coloured ink (blue in this case) makes a kind of squeeling noise if you put your ear to the transport while it is read and played. For clarification, there is no sqeeling noise from the speakers. Some actually stop playing after about 10 seconds; this is preceeded by static / noise from the speakers in addition to the transport noise.

With CDRs that have transparent ink, there is no noise and they play fine.

Anyone know what the differences are with the way these coloured inks are seen by the player (is there an advantage between colours???), and has anyone else had similar experiences?

My cheaper DVD player can play thses just fine...

Thanks for the insights.
