CD Burning

patshea098 · #1 08-08-2006, 09:58 PM

ive posted this before but got no help. i burn cd;s for my 6 disc OEM head unit. and none of them play says "Bad Disc" and they are brand new cd's. one burnt cd works and i got it from my friend and i have the EXACT same cd's. they are TDK CD-R's none of them work. ive tried burning them in napster, in iTunes, and windows media player and none of them will work

so what am i doing wrong or how do i need to burn them?

THANKS

try burning at a slower speed.

52x speed more or less blurs the info on there, and older cd players need the info to be clean and neat, try burning at a 32x max, or maybe around 26x.

If that doesnt help idk maybe its time to step up into a new HU

Wow that's really strange! Then the only thing I could think of would be th OS you use to burn the CD's, but still that shouldn't have anything to do with the unit not being able to read it. If you have used the CD-RW and it still does not work, I have absolutely know idea what could be making it read a bad disk! Sry, Good Luck Man

Burn your cd's as a data cd not a music cd. works in my audophile mp3

i heard the data disk burn may have it work im going to try that right now if it doesnt work i will try a slower speed burning.

thanks for the help guys ill llet you know how it turns out.

If the deck doesnt play Mp3's burning as a data cd, will do nothing productive.
If it does, then yeah i would recomend it b.c its badass to have like 10 or 12 albums worth of music on one disc.
