I havee been trying to record services at church...and every time i hit record it says data disc....what am i doing wrong...please help me!!!!!
Manuals are always a good place to start.

You ARE using a data disc. It's literal. RTM and see that it only uses blank media that say "Digital Audio" on them.

How to copy anything else on finalised DVD or - to HDD on samsung HR 755
If the disk is finalized you can't normally write anything else.

The words "Finalizing" and "Closing" are used interchangeably by most recording applications. To "Finalize" or "Close" a disc means that no additional data can be written to it. This is done when the last session's lead-in is written. The option to close a disc is usually selected after all of the data that will be written has been placed in the project window, and the user knows that no more data will be added to the disc in subsequent recording sessions. The next writable address on the disc is not recorded in that lead-in, so the CD recorder, in subsequent attempts to write, has no way of knowing where to begin writing.

When I put put a blank CD in record side and push record it tells me no CD-DA-D2. The recorder is set for analog and receives an input signal from Dish Network.
It probably means you're trying to record on a data CD, not a Digital Audio (DA, get it?) CD.

When u put a blank CD in it will say blank disc when you push REC. it will say Data disc and with a different CD it will say -79.59 e-mail me at [email protected]
I think your problem is that you are using a blank CDROM type disc in a CD Audio recorder. If you "burn" cds on a computer, it does not matter what type of cdr you use, but if it's for a stand alone CD Recorder (that you ise with hifi/dj stuff) you MUST use CDR AUDIO discs (sometinmes it will even say FOR MUSIC)

Make sure you're using CD-R AUDIO or MUSIC blank discs. It won't record onto data discs.

Can't read blank disk in record drive?
Well, yeah, it's blank, right?

Or do you mean it won't accept a blank CD-R for recording?

You have to use blank CD-R Audio or CD-R Music CD's in a home CD recorder. It will not record on data disc media but it will play almost any CD with CD Audio music on it.

Sony RCD-500C I get a data disc message when pressing record.
You need to use CD-R Music or Audio blanks, not Data. It's part of the spec for home CD recorders to reject blank data disks.

I get a "Data Disc" message when I press record.
have you purchased the correct blank discs? sounds like you've inserted discs that can only be used on a PC. these players can only record onto blanks bearing the "compact disc digital audio" mark. these are for use on home audio recorders. hope this helps?
