Feurio burns wrong ISRC codes!

Question: I copied a CD with ISRC codes. After copying, the right ISRC codes are read in the CD writer; but in the CD-ROM some wrong ISRC codes are displayed?

Example:
Original CD (Read with Teac cd-532s and Teac cd-r56s. The ISRC codes are identical):
TRACK 01 ISRC ITD009900029
TRACK 02 ISRC ITD009900030
TRACK 03 ISRC ITD009900031
TRACK 04 ISRC ITD009900032
TRACK 05 ISRC ITD009900033

Copied CD (Read with Teac cd-r56s, ISRC-Codes are identical to those on original)
TRACK 01 ISRC ITD009900029
TRACK 02 ISRC ITD009900030
TRACK 03 ISRC ITD009900031
TRACK 04 ISRC ITD009900032
TRACK 05 ISRC ITD009900033

Copied CD (Read with Teac cd-532s, ISRC-Code of track 4 is not the same as that on original!!!)
TRACK 01 ISRC ITD009900029
TRACK 02 ISRC ITD009900030
TRACK 03 ISRC ITD009900031
TRACK 04 ISRC TCJAA1942451 (!!!)
TRACK 05 ISRC ITD009900033

Answer:
We passed this question on to TEAC, their answer:

This is not a problem on CDR56S - CDR56S comply with Orange Book Part2 Ver3.1, but CD532S does not because it developed before the standard was finalized. According to this standard, CDR56S must record RID (Recorder IDentification code) automatically. Since both RID and ISRC are recorded with Sub-code Q channel mode 3, CD532S can not distinguish the data; however, CDR56S can distinguish the data because it is checking C1 and C2 bit on Sub-code Q channel mode 3. The mode 3 data will be RID if C1 and C2 bits are 1 and 1, but it will be ISRC if C1 and C2 bits are 0 and 0.
On the other hand, CDR55S does not comply with Orange Book Part2 Ver3.1. This mean CDR55S does not record RID, therefore, CD532S did not have any problem to read ISRC because there are not RID data on the media recorded by CDR55S.
The first 3 digits on RID are assigned for Manufacturer Code, the next 4 digits are for Type Code, and the last 5 digits are for Recorder Unique Number. Our Manufacturer Code is "TCJ". That's why the customer is seeing some ISRC as "TCJAA1942451".

Thank you,

In other words: It appears not to be possible to use "old" CD-ROMs ( which do not yet comply with the Orange Book Part2 Ver 3.1 ) to read the correct ISRC codes from CDs which have been written with writers which already comply with the Orange Book Part2 Ver 3.1.
