I'm hoping your problem is intermittent. Then there's hope.

I've been recording CD's for 10 years and have had similar experience on playback (way after it was too late to procure the source and do it again). My symptom was a nearly constant crackling laid over the audio (constant ineffective error concealment or correction).

I'm a professional Enterprise Data Storage (Tape and Disk) career customer engineer, so I know a little about things and how to troubleshoot Read errors.

I could never pin it down to anything repeatable, like media, but it seemed to happen most on CD's-R-US cheapo discs. The best I can offer is try some different brands (or lots) of media and see if you can find one or two that work.

Feed back what the results are if successful. Many people have the same problems.

Press the Finalize button (and it will start flashing) and then press Play button right away (the finalize light will stop flashing and be a steady light).

Once the disc is complete the CD-R light will change to CD.

Good luck!

can you let me know how to finalize a cd after recording thanks [email protected]

Data cds will not work with this recorder.
You must use music or digital audio cd's when recording!

Select the analogue source input.

Is the motor spinning to try to open the drawer?Can you hear it? Can you get something under the tray edge to try to 'help' it out when pressing eject?

Try a different disc brand.You could have a failing record laser.
