Notice to owners of the Professional Disc PFD23AX

Decmber 10, 2021

Dear Valued Sony PFD Customers,

Sony have discovered there were some minor issues (deformation) caused in the manufacturing process of single layer models of PFD23AX.  This issue means that the drive may unexpectedly stop while insert editing.  

Despite the issues while insert editing, we can confirm that the PFD23AX can be used without any problems with recording and playback. 

If you have purchased PFD23AX with the corresponding serial numbers and are experiencing difficulties with insert editing, we would like to offer a free exchange of the professional disc. The details around timing of replacement discs will be discussed on a case-by-case basis. The issue of a free replacement will be made on an ex-gratia basis without acceptance of any liability in respect of this issue. 

We sincerely apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
