Which CD-R disks for Marantz 650?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Got my used 650U up and running and recording fine on CD-RW 74 min disks
from both digital and analog sources. However, get a "failed" message when
it tries to initialize 80 min Sony CD-R's. Rather than go out an spend more
money for test disks that I may not be able to use (and so far nobody local
seems to carry 74 min CD-R's which makes it particularly hard), can anybody
tell me here whether the problem is due to 80 mins (I suspect it is, as the
deck is circa 1998) or to something else specific to the Sony brand (which
is rated for players 1x - 48x).

If anybody here is using this model Marantz, I'd appreciate knowing the
specifics of the CD-R blanks you find work well with it, and if possible,
also your source of supply.

Thanks.

Thanks Mike. I've wondered about that. I can record 74min CD-RW's but
don't want to do that for archiving (in addition none of my other cd players
can use, and "yes" I have finalized. These are Sony's rated 1-4x. The Sony
CD-R's are rated 1-52x...they were the only ones with a stated lower limit
and I bought them assuming they accordingly would work. But they do no.
