Bought some new TDK 700 MB-80 min CD-R discs. CDR500 says NO DISC when I out one in the recorder side. BUT when I put in some older Verbatim, GQ or Sony 700MB 80 min discs that are the old blue color on the write side, they work fine! Is there a known compatibility issue with this machine and new silver discs, or 52X rated disc speed or???? I paid over $600 for this machine to get high quality A-D converters and now if/when I run out of old discs I will have a $600 boat anchor! Bought some new TDK 700 MB-80 min CD-R discs.

Have a look on ebay for a cheap working donor recorder as spares are very expensive and very hard to get hold of. i'm guessing your recorder either doesn't read discs, or it won't eject? which is very common and means either the servo board is faulty or the laser.
The following recorders i know off hand for a donor mechanism are:
MARANTZ DR-6050 PHILIPS CDR-775 PHILIPS CDR-770
if it proves to be just a faulty laser, all 3 of the above have the same laser unit. if it proves to be a faulty servo board, all 3 have the same servo boards except if you fit one out of a philips model it will show 'PHILIPS CD RECORDER' on the display at power up but will still work nontheless. obviously if a marantz is found it will show 'MARANTZ CD RECORDER' as normal.

Hi I have just bought a car and it is in safe mode the car is a vauxhall vectra and the stereo is a delco electronic cdr 500 and serial no on it is gm0500t9120228 pls can you help me thanks Brian
If this brand of media is new to you and the symptom is unique to it, I'd try a different brand.
Monitoring during record would never reveal media problems as there is no immediate playback after record as on old-school 3-head tape recorders.
I've had similar intermittent problems and I never could find a pattern to it except that it always seemed to be on low-end media. My best advice would be to try to find a pattern in your instance and make a change that avoids it. Then publish what you learned for us.
it's more than likely the servo board which is fixed under the mechanism. this is very common but i'm not sure which component fails on the board but i've always got hold of donor recorders and switched the servo boards and all was fine.
laser failure on the recording side is very common on marantz and philips cd recorders. they're well known for it. so it's most definately the laser in your case.
