Does that mean none of the discs will work ? No, it means that you can regularly expect errors when using certain discs. The causes vary from media with an uneven dye app. to dye flaking or even missing from the disc's edges. The use of an "Unknown" dye usually means the cheapest available dye from batch to batch. "How about the disc itself ??" you might ask. You would be correct that not all discs are equal. Pick up a Taiyo Yuden in one hand and a "Great AZO" or Memorex in the other and you'll never ask again.
