I think we had a similar discussion a while back, but it was specifically
about problems with some Hi Space discs, but also TDK and few others when
used with Sony 520s and 920s. I seem to remember that we worked out that
some discs when new and unused had a slightly stiffer shutter than the
mechanism in these machines could cope with and rejected them with a C13
error the first time you tried to use them. Giving the shutter a good
jiggle before insertion seemed to loosen the shutter and remedy the problem
- the discs caused no problems after that. This is the only problem I've
experienced with discs so far and it is easily remedied.
