Greetings. I've been on the Asylum for years, but this is my first posting on Digital Drive, so please be gentle. I ordered some CDs from High Definition Tape Transfers (HDTT), an outfit that sells remastered recordings as either downloads or physical discs. One of the discs is a gold recordable CD of string quartets. When I tried to play this disc on my Esoteric K-05, I got an error message. I reported this to HDTT and they promptly sent a replacement, but the results are the same--the replacement disc wouldn't load in the K-05. The disc will play on my PC's disc drive and also on the Panasonic blu-ray player in my home theater set-up. The K-05 owner's manual states that recordable CDs will not play if they have not been finalized; this could be the issue. I would note that the other disc, which is a garden-variety CD rather than a gold disc, plays perfectly fine. I'm stumped. Does anyone have a possible explanation, an educated guess, or a wild theory? All responses would be welcome. Thanks! |

Why not ask the amnufacturer (Esoteric) about your situation? |

You might check if the disk is finalized or not. " Check the drive properties in File Explorer. If the Free Space shows as 0, then the disc is finalized. If the Free Space > 0, then the disc is not finalized. " The Well Tempered Computer |
