Trouble with Pioneer PDR-555RW
I was given a defective Pioneer PDR-555RW. After replacing the main 1F cap on the digital processing PCB, it seems to work fine when reading a CD. But, when inserting a new, empty CD-R for audio, it fails most of the time and the display shows the "CHECK DISC" message. Sometimes, it accepts the new CD and I can record the disc without any problem. Well, can somebody tell me what's going wrong ? Is this device very sensitive to the quality of the CD-R used ? I bought 5 CD from Maxell and only one of them did work. Should I use discs from another manufacturer ? -- Use our news server 'news.foorum.com' from anywhere.

Trouble with Pioneer PDR-555RW
I have examined the service manual. The pickup appears very accessible for
cleaning. Worth a try, I would say. There is a chance the pickup is weak, but I would try cleaning first. This piece appears more serviceable than most cd/rw units, but the setups look like a bear.
