Yes, ALL my CD's are Verbatim Data Life plus blue bottom's.. I've been
playing around with the Tascam unit a bit more and it seems there's quite a
few CD's it isn't recognizing (and now both decks are having problems). I'm
going to try and exchange the unit tomorrow for the Pioneer CMX-5000 (which
didn't seem to have any problems when I demo'ed it in the store). Hopefully
I won't have to reburn every one of my CD's ;)

P.S. For $1600 (CDN), the Tascam unit really should have a laser that's
capable of reading any colored media.. Usually I find that lower cost CD
players have difficulty reading CDR's since the reflectivity is lower than a
store bought CD, but I'm surprised that this machine is giving me problems,
given it's made by a reputable company with a good name.
