It's cause your stock 92 cd player came along before CDR's. I doubt it will play any form of CDR or CDRW. It's just not smart enough. My wife's Jensuck in her caddy won't play them either and it's only 1 year old, POS!! My Alpine play's all forms with no problem's. You get what you pay for.

 

What brands of CDRs have you tried?

Though I don't have a cd player in my dsm, I have a really old sony CD player system that won't take certain brands of CDRs but others will work fine... I don't know if this is the case with 1g dsm cd players but I've heard some people getting inconsistant results - some work with cdr's, some don't...

Hope the new cd players don't have that newfangled copy protection stuff in it...

Also make sure you burned the CDR single session, TAO (I think)... Been a while since I've burned any audio CD's, so inefficent in storage

 

The factory one in my 92 Laser plays CD-Rs. Neener Neener Neener!

Anyways, just try cleaning it. They sell "cleaning CD's" at Wal-Mart and Radio Shack.

 

Yep, mine plays CDRs too! Sometimes it won't eject tho!
120k and counting...

 

I've had good luck with blue Verbatim Datalifes and (temporarily) pure older Taiyo Yuden Gold/Green on older CD players. I haven't burned an audio cd in eons, because all I've been burning are mp3 cds. I don't have a cd player in the car, but that line-in input is sweet!

Need mod my other cars with one too...

 

I guess I'll try some different types of CDR's then.

 

I use Memorex or Maxell

 

Older CD players are very picky when it comes to the color of the CD in my experience.

 

I've had bad luck with ritek CD's. Not only they crackle in my old cd player, they tend to fade and become unreadable...

The old green/gold taiyo yudens, while work great at first, tend to fade and become unreadable early...

Buy samples from many cdr companies and brands, and try them out...

Memorex used to use Ritek but now switched to different brands. Maxell used to have QC problems...

Right now I'm using Sony and the noname Comp-USA (Princo) CDRs...
The Princos are pretty cheap (qualitywise) but hold up to the 8x burns at least...

 

I use Memorex or Maxell

its beyond me how i posted this twice.
