C2 errors.. not good.

The TEAC DV-W516G is a rebadged Liteon SOHW-1633S.

This drive is not reliable for scanning CDs. My drive (I have a 1213S which has been crossflashed to various newer fw versions- at present CS0P, 1653S) routinely shows C2's on impeccable discs. If you have a LiteOn CD-Burner, use that for testing CDs.

If you get similar C1/C2 counts then, quickly make a backup for that disc, because those numbers spell trouble.

Hello!

Over 1000 C2-errors? Not good.

Do you have burned the media on your Teac or an other drive?
