That's  a  useful addition to what has been posted  so  far.  The 
disks I have seen are actually sold as "unbranded (named company) 
CD-Rs". And I suspect the vendor would indeed take the disks back 
if they proved defective.

I  spoke to Panasonic about the problem I was having - namely  my 
PD  4x CD-Reader would not read the Yamaha CDE-100II  4x  written 
disks. The Yamaha could, and so could a SAMSUNG 32x reader.  Tech 
support at Panasonic suggested I write the next disk at 1x, which 
I now have done. That reads OK.

I suspect it has been discussed before, but I would like to know, 
in technical detail, what the differences between 1st through 3rd 
genration CD-Rs is, and why some of the readers, especially older 
ones  have differential read reliability depending on  the  SPEED 
the  disk  is written at. I assumed, until recently,  that  there 
would  be  no difference between 1x, 2x and 4x  writing.  Clealry 
this is not so.
