Sony rdr-hxd870 hard disc dvd recorder. cd playback

[ffoo]

Anyone else got one of these?
I'm having trouble with the Play CD function: The final track of a CD
finishes abruptly a couple of
seconds early so I don't hear the very end of the track. I am
listening to audio books and it's stopping mid-sentence. It's
infuriating. I don't think anyone would spot this on a music CD that
faded out or had a few seconds of silence at the end of the last
track but many of my audio books finish without any 'recorded silence'
at the end. Even on a music cd you can see the problem because as the on screen info counts up to the end of the last track it jumps back to whatever the tuner is showing before the end.

Is this a fault with my particular recorder or has anyone else seen
this with theirs?

Sounds like it's faulty.

What media are you using and how did you burn it?
Is it mp3 or cda?

I'm finding this with commercial CDs, so it isn't dodgy CD-Rs
or whatever...

It is either something simple like dust or dirt on the laser sled preventing it going to the end of its travel... or the whole assembly is out of alignment.

Professional attention is probably required.
