| 1297281 | 2012-08-27 07:42:00 | Hi all HUGE problem here—I used my Pioneer PDR-609 to record the audio for our wedding this last weekend. As I was the one getting married, I got a friend to operate the recorder ... unfortunately, when the ceremony finished he simply turned off the recorder, ensuring that the CD that had the recording on it was now seen as a blank disc! :horrified So—is there anyone out there who would be able to tell me how to get the audio that has been recorded off the disc?! If I can force the recorder into "repairing" the disc it may help, but I can't see any way of doing this ... |

| 1297283 | 2012-08-27 09:59:00 | www.pioneer.eu The manual mentions a repair option, page 41 in the english version. Does this come up when you start the machine with the CD in? |

| 1297284 | 2012-08-27 10:06:00 | Unfortunately, not it does not. Once the wedding started, I was understandably not thinking about the recording at all, so I'm not actually sure WHAT he did. But I can see by how the light is reflected on the surface of the CD that there HAS been data recorded, so I'm hopeful there is a way to get the recorder to "repair" it. | davehartley (3487) | ||
| 1297285 | 2012-08-27 10:14:00 | www.roadkil.net Try this, it worked for me to get data off a CD that had bad damage... have been searching for it since first read your post. Hope it helps. |

| 1297286 | 2012-08-27 13:51:00 | Sigh. Unfortunately none of these have been able to get the data off the disc. All programs just tell me the disc is "empty" (although I can physically see that data has been written to the disc) and fail to do anything. Any other ideas? | davehartley (3487) | ||
| 1297287 | 2012-08-27 21:38:00 | I've been using Isobuster for years. It recovers data from damaged DVD's, not too sure about your problem. http://www.isobuster.com/ Sorry, see it was mentioned above. |

| 1297288 | 2012-08-27 22:03:00 | Thanks Neil—yeah, already tried that (and a myriad of other programs!). I think the main problem is that all that is on the disc is digitised audio—there is no TOC or anything like that to tell anything (even the player itself!) where the tracks are. I'm at a real loss here, and am fairly desperate to recover this audio! | davehartley (3487) | ||
| 1297289 | 2012-08-28 00:24:00 | Just a long shot, would any of the wedding group have had a voice recorder, or note taker at the ceromony.? | BobM (1138) | ||
| 1297290 | 2012-08-28 00:56:00 | I doubt that most of those programs would be much help with an audio CD recorded in this machine. Put that CD to one side for now, runs some tests on another CD, replicate what happened & try & fix it on the test CD (eg finalise it after a shutdown/restart of the recorder) I think the Audio CD has to be 'finalised' at the end of the recording, you might still be able to do that. but on the CD *** try that last *** when all other options have failed. You could take it to data recovery specialist (not a PC repair shop), eg Data Forenesics in AK It will cost big $$$$$$$$$ |
