Chris, see if you can copy the disc, then check if the copy reads OK --
sometimes commercial pressings do this in *some* readers.
We have an audio player (Sony, current model, almost new) that can't read
several perfectly good looking discs which all our other players (Panasonic
(Technics), Pioneer, Wintel DVD, computer reader, computer re-writer)
recognise without a problem.
If I copy them, the Sony plays the *copies* without trouble.
If you can't copy it and it's not copy-protected, throw it back at the vendor.
Regards
Charles
