CD-Rs

[badinvincible]

could anyone recommend a Cd changer that plays Cdrs (the one in my mk1 172 doesnt read them) that is compatible with the existing Reno HU? Does the changer from a mk2 172 play cdrs? any ideas?

 

[Daipac]

The CD changer in my MKII 172 plays them, I have 6 CD-Rs in there right now.

I thought they were the same unit ? Possibly not then.........

 

[KDF]

Yep the mk2 deffo plays CD-Rs, I wonder if the mk2 changer would work on a mk1 HU

 

[Daz]

Very few dont!

Its CDRWs some have trouble with, but even then.. new players all play them!

 

[badinvincible]

hmmm, interesting........ thinks a post on the Wanted forum is needed

Bizzare - the std changer in my MK1 172 reads all my CDRs just fine!

Or more correctly, the dye that is used in the CD-R, I use Ritek

 

[Daipac]

I use all sorts of different brand CD-Rs and have had no problems playing any of them ! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !

lob a cleaner disc in or change the format you use.

so, more expensive (better quality) CD-Rs should work then? funny that. Ones i get from the "market"(ahem) work ok, ones that i compile myself using stuff i download off Kazaa dont work, is it just a case of buying better quality CD-Rs then?

Yep mine too. ( cheap PC line ones )

 

[badinvincible]

^^^so how come mine doesnt work?

 

[Sawa]

Could it be because you havent finalized the CD-R?

 

[KDF]

Yep, thats a good point, if you dont finalize the CD-R you will still be able to read it on your writer and will appear to work correctly, but play it back in anything other than a writer and it wont work unless finalized.

 

[badinvincible]

the cds im wanting to play worked in my 52 plate dynamique fine, just dont seem to work in my 172

 

[iPap]

If I burn mine high speed they cause problems!

(Just my 2p worth. Not saying I know anything on the subject)

 

[dudelove]

You may be using cd-rws not cd-rs
You may not be burning Disc at once (DAO) or may be leaving the session open

Wierd that though

try and get hold of some verbatim Cd-rs

 

[badinvincible]

so, decent CD-Rs and finalizing session then? still doesnt explain how the same discs worked in my dynamique and not in my 172 though

 

[George16v]

Mate, I recently sold the changer from my mk1 172, But that definatelt played CD-Rs

 

[George16v]

Also check your not saving them as mp3s mate,lol

 

[badinvincible]

ta for the replies guys, im still at ends why the same cds worked in my dynamique but not my 172, not got a chuffing clue
