Thanks Lou. I'll give the home remedy a go first and see if it yields
any results before sending the disc out.

Aaron,
What is AFAIK? (Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the terminology in
this field). Since I'm Mac based the recording was made in uncompressed
PCM mode and not the compressed ATRAC mode. Is this what you were
referring to?

Lou,
I set the recorder up and went back to bed. Some time later after it was
finished I brought the unit back in. I locked the disc and checked the
recording. Upon returning from the trip I checked all the recordings
again. I discovered the new error as I was transferring all files to the
computer for backup and storage. So it was working at one time, but then....

the good discs.
