I found that a bath in methylene chloride, commonly known as paint stripper, taking the plastic layer off the metal, makes it much easier for the camera in the disc player to see the 1's and 0's. All halos that can make 1's look like 0s are eliminated. The lower mass of the disc reduces the load on the motor so modulation of the power supply voltage that feeds the DAC is reduced. Also, the focus coil for the camera lens has to work less because the metal surface is much smoother than the plastic surface. This too, leads to lower power supply modulation.
