I'm wondering how it records but cannot read discs because it has to recognise a disc and load the TOC before it can record.

Do you mean it reads a disc, records and then after it gives you a BLANK DISC message? If that is the case it is likely the OWH (overwrite head) on the N1 which was a big problem with that unit. If this is the problem you're having then it is going to cost more to repair than to just get a different unit (in the future I would stay away from the problem-laden N1 if you can).

If it isn't the problem you're having can you describe it a little more in detail and perhaps note any error messages given by the MD unit? Simply and MD unit has to be able to read a disc before it can record one, but on the other hand there are many instances where a unit will read but not be able to record (usually an OWH problem).
