yeah sometimes burnt discs dont get read. I have that problems sometimes with my sony head unit (came with the car) - but after i push reset it works.....

works find with original cds though. Try yours with originals - it should be ok.

Some car CD players have trouble if the disc is not burnt with the 'Disc at Once' option ie you use track at once, multi-sessions or change the track spacing time from the default 2 seconds. as was mentioned earlier try a commercial disc to check the operation. Usually it is the 'track at once' option that causes it not to work on older alpine head unit.

make sure you're not using re-writable blanks. and also burn at a slower speed, that sometimes makes the tracks easier for the laser to read. and close or end session on the cd so it's playable in standalone players. but if all u have at home are burnt cd's, then i'm sure you already know all this. :)

Could be one of several suggestions. For HU's that don't officially support CD-R discs, you might need to check:

Disc-At-Once (DAO) sometimes helps.

The type of disc... i.e the colour of the surface. (silver or blue.. some lasers cannot read off blue discs because they don't reflect as much as silver ones)

The burn speed. My old Kenwood didn't read anything that was burnt over 8X. Again, it's a laser/tracking issue. Original Playstations had this too, where you had to burn onto black discs at 2X for them to read.

So, silver disc, 4X, disc at once. If it still doesn't work, your HU just won't read CD-Rs.

could it be the mulitsession thing when i burn?

definately dont use multisession.

you need to 'close' the disc / 'end' the session. otherwsie standalone players wont read it unless they can read mp3.

another thing, you're not burning an iso (data) disc full of mp3's are you? coz u need to select audio cd, and your burning program will convert the mp3s to the correct file type for standalone players.

kk?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
