There is also a trick to fool the CD-r into not having to use
consumer-audio Cd-rs , let the machine read one , manually open the
drawer , slip a cheapy in , close the door , record and finalise.
This is also an option with the Pioneer machines , tho has to be
accomplished electrically and is not quite so simple

Basically on all machines , one has to find a way of opening the cd
drawer without the machine being aware of this.

However , one of the things the Cd-recorder does when reading the
"good" media is to do a few burn tests to get laser strength etc right
, although I have heard no complaints re using cheap Cd-rs in this
regard , it might be a problem with certain makes.

The good media should only be 3% more expensive than the cheap stuff ,
prices should drop radically when there is more demand for this
special media
