I can almost guarantee the laser isn't causing the problem. The laser output
power is fixed at 1.0 milliwatt. Not much of a source of heat there. The
audio output IC produces WAY more heat than the laser.

So if the overheating is coming from the heat of the laser itself,
changing brands of CD-R isn't going to help him out, since the laser
output is fixed, right?
