CD R on Boombox CD Player
I just bought an inexpensive JVC boombox CD player. It is advertised
as playing CD R/W. Some of my CD-R's play fine, some don't. I tried to burn the non-playing CD's again on my computer on different CD brand, they still do not play. Is something wrong with this JVC boombox? Should we get a better boombox? Or is it a problem that is bound happen in these inexpensive boomboxes. thanks. -surinder |

Should we get a better boombox? Or is it a problem that is bound happen in these inexpensive boomboxes. Possible. To figure it out, take the same CD-R's that won't play in your JVC boombox and try playing them in a variety of CD players and see how uncommon it really is for those particular CD-R's not to play. It could be that you're burning at too high a rate. In my own experience, when I burn audio CD-R's at 2x on Sony media with my Lite-On burner, I've yet to find a player that they won't play on--even players not advertised as capable of playing CD-R or CD-RW. At 4x, some of my friends' players start crapping out. I never burn audio CD-R's faster than 4x.

Is something wrong with this JVC boombox? Should we get a better boombox? Or is it a problem that is bound happen in these inexpensive boomboxes. CD-R and CD-RW compatibility is often an issue on CD players, with the less-expensive ones sometimes being more of a problem. Unfortunately, the "speed-rating wars" which have pushed drives (and media) to higher and higher burning speeds and capacities seem to have had a negative effect on CD-R compatibility. Blanks which are rated for high-speed burning seem to use dye layers which are thinner and less reflective (and thus produce a lower RF signal leven) than the older, lower-speed blanks. "80-minute" blanks require a data-packing density which is right up against the limits of the Red Book standard, and many drives have difficulty tracking these discs. For best compatibility with CD-R media, I suggest the following: - Try to get some of the older CD-R blank media, rated for lower burning rates. - Similarly, try to find 650-megabyte / 72-minute blanks. These have pit/land, and track spacings which are right in the middle of the Red Book specification range, and may be easier for your player to track. - Burn at a lower speed - you may get better pit/land pattern readability on the disc. A decent rule-of-thumb is to burn at speeds around 2/3 of your drive's maximum - e.g. a 12x drive may produce its best burn quality at an 8x burning rate. The other thing you could do is exchange your boom-box for another one... possibly of the same model, possibly different. If it's advertised as being CD-R compatible, but rejects a large fraction of well-burned high-quality CD-R discs, then I'd say you have a legitimate beef. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |

CD R on Boombox CD Player
No problem with a Sony CFD-S26, an inexpensive unit. Plays cd-rw and cd-r
fine, cd-r's are Phillips burned at 32x (48x rated). No problem with Timex clock radio with cd-r. I would suspect the player. Dave Cohen "Dave Platt" wrote in message ...

Another suggestion, take the most problematic media you have and visit a
Best Buy or similar, you shouldn't have a problem finding running units on which you can test, I doubt salespeople would object.

CD R on Boombox CD Player-Related Problem
I have a Sony 8 x burner in my system and it has always worked fine..my
audio cd's play in all my players with no problems. I just added a second burner, another Sony (CRX225A) which is 52 v 24 x 52. The fastest media I could find was Sony rated at 42x (or 48x...I can't remember which). About 1 cd in 3 comes out with an error. It seems to record fine, and the first 20 cuts play fine, but towards the end of the side the player just locks up and gives an error message. This happens at the identical point on any player, including either of my burners. I just went back and redid one of them at 12x and it recorded fine (on older 24 x media). I had no luck slowing down the burn to 40 or 16 however. I have applied the XP patch and Easy CD Creator patches and updates. I don't know where else to look. Jay "SPS22" wrote in message om...

CD R on Boombox CD Player-Related Problem
I have a Sony 8 x burner in my system and it has always worked fine..my
audio cd's play in all my players with no problems. I just added a second burner, another Sony (CRX225A) which is 52 v 24 x 52. The fastest media I could find was Sony rated at 42x (or 48x...I can't remember which). About 1 cd in 3 comes out with an error. It seems to record fine, and the first 20 cuts play fine, but towards the end of the side the player just locks up and gives an error message. This happens at the identical point on any player, including either of my burners. I just went back and redid one of them at 12x and it recorded fine (on older 24 x media). I had no luck slowing down the burn to 40 or 16 however. I have applied the XP patch and Easy CD Creator patches and updates. I don't know where else to look. Jay "SPS22" wrote in message om...

CD R on Boombox CD Player-Related Problem
When dealing with audio, what you are experiencing is normal. Audio copies
work more by good luck than good management and media compatibility can be crucial with fussy hardware. If it works at 12x then record at 12X. To get a faster speed, you will have to wait until media technology catches up with the hardware - and even then there will be an optimum speed for a given writer/medium combination. -- Graham Mayor Jay wrote: I have a Sony 8 x burner in my system and it has always worked fine..my audio cd's play in all my players with no problems.

CD R on Boombox CD Player-Related Problem
I think you;ve hit on it exactly. I just came back from the store with two
new kinds of media, TDK & Memorex, both rated at 52x. I've done two 52x burns (one on each media) and both discs came out ok. I'll keep my fingers crossed. One follow up question. This Sony burner says that it defaults to 40x each time you insert a blank CD-R. If you want to engage what they call their "turbo" speed system, you hold the Eject button for 5 seconds. The unit switches to 52x mode for that time only. As soon as you eject you've rest to 40x. It seemed to work as advertised, but is it odd to have to request maximum speed each time rather than having the unit adjust itself (in Roxio it shows "Optimal".

I don't know the reason. I have no knowledge of this unit, but 52X is at the
mechanical limits of the CD medium, with rotation speeds that can cause catastrphic disc failure. TGhe discs can burst apart at this speed, destroying the writer.
