Hi All,

Wondered if anyone else has had this problem. Last night I installed a
new CD-RW drive in my home PC (made by LiteOn), and burnt a couple of
discs just to check it worked.

(snip)
Is it just that my Arcam doesn't like 80 minute CD-R recordings? Has
anyone else seen this? The Arcam is flawless in all other respects, so
I am not really complaining - I'd just like to know that I don't have
to send the new CD-RW drive back!

No such problems here. I use the same TDK disks all the time and my 8SE
plays them just fine.

My (sorry guys) Bose clock-radio-CD-thingy, on the other hand, does exactly
what your 8SE is doing. Spins the disk (various types and makes, on a
fairly random basis) for ages before finally playing it. Sometimes I can't
cue individual tracks at all, but it'll play through the disk in order. I
would put it down to an inferior transport, but I'll be lynched if I say
that here!

Don't know where your fault lies, but it's not a characteristic of the Alpha
player.
