Since this is exactly the opposite of what "we" would expect,
and the CD drive reads "something" correctly, I'd say it has
a MAJOR calibration problem... They can only be fixed by the factory,
or replace if there is no warranty...

I have a couple pressed factory disks that "ARE" bad enough to
notice "something" is wrong with them, but I am assuming ALL
pressed factory disks are malfunctioning...
