What CD titles have compatibility issues?
Arcam claim that all known CD incompatibilities have been resolved. If you are still having issues contact Arcam customer services who can arrange for your drive firmware to be upgraded. Some music labels are now having CD’s manufactured with copy-protection (Cactus, SafeAudio) which works by corrupting the data or table of contents on the disk in such a way that most audio CD players will ignore as they do not use error correction. Audio players performing error correction, computer CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, DVD players, car CD players etc. are often unable to play the disc. Some don’t recognise it at all, some have bad tracks, sometimes the sound is affected etc. Most of these discs are not marked as being corrupted in such a way to prevent coping so if you are having a compatibility problem with an audio disc check it on this list of bad discs UK) or this one (USA) first to see if it has this ‘feature’.
