Customers of the Sony DRU-500AX and/or
DRX-500ULX DVD recorders might have received damaged DVD+RW discs with their
recorder. The discs included in the packages of these drives contain a memory
layer that may oxidize after some time. The discs become unreadable and/or
unwriteable due to this malfunction.
Sony said it will replace some DPW47L1 discs as some of them may not be able to record information or have data read off them because the disks' memory layer may oxidize after a certain period of time |
Sony has
announced it will replace the discs world-wide and the company expects to
replace about 18,000 pieces.
