The fact that it plays pre-recorded discs but not recordable ones
indicates to me that the optical assy/lens is out of alignment - it is
far easier for the optical assy to read the (relatively high output)
pits of a pre-recorded disc than it is to read the (very low) polarised
output from a recordable disc...
My old MZ-R2 had the same symptoms and I was able to repair it by
strengthening the plastic lens support and altering a couple of values
in the firmware - it has worked perfectly like this for the last four
years.
Sony wanted $550 to replace the optical block assy....
