What are the procedures for recording LPs to a Music disc using the Sony RCD 500C I am new at this age 69

Were these discs labeled CD-R Digital Audio? This compact disc recorder can't record to CD-R data disc for computers. See the manual on page 7. The manual is available here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4246/42460761M.pdf .

Apparently, there is a header section on CD-R Digital Audio discs that tells the RCD-W100 that the disc is for audio recording. The work-around would be to process your audio files on a computer and then write the music to the CDs that you currently have.

I wish that I had better news for you.

Changers are notoriously unreliable. You might be dealing with poorly made media or if it happens all the time it could be that the sled positioning motor has to be cleaned and re-greased as something is stopping it from being allowed to finish a TOC write.
First I would look for complaints on the Internet to see if other are having this problem and the solution may be posted.
Otherwise the unit will need to be serviced.

You're trying to use a blank data disc. Use one that says "audio' or 'music". It's in the manual.

Hi, Try downloading the manual in PDF format from the following location. All the explanations are included. http://www.google.co.il/search?aq=1&oq=RCD-W500C&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=rcd-w500c+manual

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

You can record any audio in the world on your CDR as long as it can be connected via either RCA or digital audio cables.

Depending on your PC's sound capabilities, you should have at least a headphone output that can be adapted to an RCA cable, or you may have an actual Sound Card with RCA audio outputs. And you may have a SPDIF (coaxial) digital audio output that you could use but you have to go into the software controlling the sound card to make sure the digital bitrate is compatible with the CDR (44.1mHz).

Go into your PC's Audio Property controls and make sure the outputs are all on and the volume is all the way up.

It wants a CD-R Audio or CD-R Music blank disc to record on. It won't record on CD-R data discs.

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.

there are programs on the net that will copy from tape to cd via the computer if you have a cd writer on the pc hope this helps regards Jim
