I briefly machs: I've been> 10 years a Philips recorder; When ordering those SONY blanks in AMAZON cost me in the face some daunting reviews overcome, but it was also my last chance: I was desperate in the face of this "made in India - and China scrap" not the one of the manufacturers (check their failures ? / -The dealers are indeed clueless and possibly give no feedback) is expected in audio blanks?; have let me therefore in advance of AMAZON confirm my return policy. I have previously inserted every 20 blanks, can only say "all recognized / you!" If necessary. makes this "Made in Taiwan" the subtle difference, isses me right!
