Andy, The main reasons for this happening are: 1. Dirt on the disk - the PTR1 is more sensative than usual, due to the way it records onto the disk. This also applies to scratches on the disk. 2. Jitters or skipping of the motor - usually if you move the unit, or nock it.
In all cases, you should be able to recover what you had recorded by going into the media management menu, and then using the "recover damaged recording" option. Note that after the recovery procedure, the disk is unstable, so back it up to card asap.

I can be taking notes, or recording a course session, and for no apparent reason, the PTR1 decides part way through, that the disk is a "improper or damaged disk!" and all the previous recordings get lost! This has also happened when recording a series of programmes off the TV, I might record 4-5 episodes, only to find part way through the following weeks recording, PTR1 gives me that message, and I've lost all the previous weeks programmes! Doesn't seem to matter if I'm using CDRs or CDRWs. I've lost too much work now because of this PTR1, that for �600 I'm beginning to think it's way over rated, and I've lost confidence in it's reliability. Seems like the usual story, that things produced for the blind are over priced, and second rate!! Going to have to try recording everything to card, and then back it up to disk - so much for choice!
