CD Players
Ok, so my dvd player in my room plays dvds (obviously), reg. music cds, cd-r's, cd-rw's, and mp3 cd's. but lately it has been tempermental as to which cd-r's it will play. Alot of my cd's are burned and its really annoying, it has trouble reading them or something im not sure. any ideas? this hasnt happened since ive owned it around xmas time. im confused!

The most likely culprit is simply the brand of disk. I've used two different types of disks recently, Phillips and Memorex. The Phillips play great in anything. The Memorex, however, either won't play or sound like crap in the same players. If it's doing it to disks that used to play fine, it's probably either the disks are scratched, or the player is going to crap. CD-R's are much more sensitive to scratches than regular CD's. If the player is a cheapo, like Apex, then it's not suprising that it's doing this, and will probably only get worse.

you know what i think you're right with the brand of cd's, because i was using Sony's that worked really great, then switched to some things i found in my closet....its interesting though because they all play in my car and in my mom's car too....*shrug* oh well, i guess i just cant listen to certain ones
thanks!

Another possibility I just thought of. I don't know if this is the case with all burners, but when I used music type CD-R's to burn a music disk in my computer's burner, it doesn't play right. It seems those are specifically for stereo system CD recorders, and you need to use data CD in a computer burner, regardless of what your putting on them.

As for reflectivity, it's likely the source of the problem you're experiencing, Pete. CD-Rs are not as reflective as stamped CDs, so a CD which works in one player may not work in another. Similarly, one brand may work in a given player, but not another brand. If you're finding that CDs which used to work in your CD player no longer do, it could be a few things. First it might be that your lens just needs to be cleaned. Second, your disc may be scratched. And third, the disc might just be old. They lose their reflectivity over time, especially if exposed to heat or sunlight.

CD-r
Quote:
If the discs have been working and now don't it would suggest that either your lens needs a clean or that your CD's could use one, also CD-r is not as stable as normal CD's. I have also noted that some DVD players are touchy about playing anything that has been recorded at high speed, much more so than dedicated CD players, could explain why they play in the car and not your DVD player Regards KennEls |

CD-R
Hi everyone, On a recent "Screen Savers" show on Tech TV, they reported that burnable CD-Rs etc. were becoming unplayable in as little as two years after burning. Something to think about. Take care, BOBB

I've been burning CD's for over 6.5 years and all my original CD's are still fine.

i have found that the slower I burn the CD the better it plays..It resists the skipping as compared to 16x or 32x...it takes longer but that seems to work 4 me
