My marantz cdr300 keeps saying OPC error no matter what cd I put in it. Can you help?

Try to use different discs. Older unit may have problem writing high speed discs. Try to find 1x or 2x discs. OPC-optical power calibration. Another possibility that yourlaser is on the way out

All I can think of is to try other makes of blank discs. Also, if your machine ever comes up 'ERROR' and you have no control of any functions including powering it off or on-remove the plug from the wall and wait about a minute, then plug it back in.

will it play original CDs

or just the recordings that play up?

DR-6000 only accepts CD-R audio or CD-R music discs, not the standard CD-R discs. the difference is that the audio and music discs have the OPC formatted differently and they cost a bit more because they include the royalties fee. Standard CD-R discs won't work in this recorder. The correct discs have compact disc "digital audio" logo on them.

CDR error means the trouble is in the laser eye,maybe the eye is faulty already or dirty. If the laser eye is dirty,then you need to clean it with a cotton buds.Open the unit then wipe the laser eye tenderly with the cotton buds or buy a DVD / CD cleaner kit.Just click this link;

I suggest you try cleaning the lens...

If the wrong disc was inserted, say a music disc, there would surely be a message to that effect. If no such message is displayed I would guess the unit is faulty.
