blairl Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Some replicated CD's that I have engineered are having some problems with CD's not playing back on certain audio players, in particular car audio players. While certain CD's play perfectly on one car audio player, other discs will not play at all on that same car audio player, so it appears that the fault is not in the player but in the CD. Why is it that certain CD's have a hard time playing back in certain players? Is it a manufacturing problem, a mastering problem, or something else? Again, I am not talking about CD-R's but actual replicated discs, some are projects that I have worked on and some are other comercially available projects. Any feedback would be greatly apreciated.

robotobonhome.com Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 I think you have to finalize or do whatever your software or hardware does to close off the cd so nothing more can be written. Every problem with a cdr I've ever had has been solved by closing the disc. -rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairl Posted January 17, 2001 Author Share Posted January 17, 2001 Although CD-R's are also a problem, the main thing I'm concerned about is the replicated finished product. Of course the master that goes for replication is closed and error checked and has passed everything. My problem is the finished product. Mine as well as some others.

alphajerk Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 first of all, you HAVE to burn REDBOOK standard or CDR's will only work sometimes and usually cant find the start ID. if you are doing that, some CD players [usually older players] lasers arent adjusted properly for CDR playback resulting in skipping. this is a problem of CDR's. when you have CD's manufactured, this is no longer a problem. alphajerk FATcompilation "if god is truly just, i tremble for the fate of my country" -thomas jefferson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the case but in some cases the manufactured CD's are having these same types of problems. I'm just wondering if anyone has any insight on this. The manufacturers are not too willing to share info on this topic. This message has been edited by blairl on 01-16-2001 at 10:44 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x factor music Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Some car CD players are too sensitive. If a particular disc is too "reflective," it will screw with the laser tracking and eventually cough up the disk. This is a manufacturing problem with the CD, and some may work and others will not. I have had this problem both with CDs from duplicators and with my own CDRs. Trial and error is what has worked in the end...that or ditching the car CD player that's giving you problems. jeremeyhunsicker.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydmurphyhotmail.com Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 I had the same problem. I have a Pioneer CD player in my car and it hates all unbranded or cheap CDs. I now use only the Sony Brand CDs and it all works wonderfully. Hope this helps! Lloyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Aragon Posted January 19, 2001 Share Posted January 19, 2001 I think the problem is partly that, as mentioned above, some Car CD players are too sensitive, and some CD pressing plants simply have a cheaper process so the CD's produced don't always track properly on some players. I remember when CD's first came out years ago and a salesman at a stereo store was demonstrating the durability of the CD. He threw it on the ground and then stepped on it to scuff it up. After that he put it in the CD player to show that it still played flawlessly. There is no way someone would do that these days http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
