| 715875 | 2008-10-30 02:29:00 | I have been putting some of my old 45's and 78's on to CD. I can play them on my car CD player and on my wife's portable CD player, but not on our old (20 years?) Technics Stereo set. However, purchased CD's play OK. Has anyone got an explanation and a solution? All help much appreciated. KB. | kbcad (1025) | ||
| 715876 | 2008-10-30 02:31:00 | Did you finalise? the CDs | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 715877 | 2008-10-30 02:35:00 | What format did you burn them as? MP3 or cda format?? If MP3, the 2 that can play it can probably play MP3 cd's, the old one cant You'll have to burn it in cda format. |

| 715878 | 2008-10-30 03:47:00 | In addition to the above suggestions you also need to burn at your burner's slowest setting, preferably at 8x or slower. Most older CD players cannot read discs burnt at fast speeds. | FoxyMX (5) | ||

| 715880 | 2008-10-30 04:11:00 | I would say the old CD player is unable to read a modem CD-R. Same with vintage 2 x CD-Rom for PC's! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 715881 | 2008-10-30 04:36:00 | Another thing to look at is whether the CD is being burnt as a multisession or single session disc. A lot of old CD ROMs and CD Players cannot read multisession CDs. Make sure that you select the ootion in your burning software that closes the session as well as finalising the disc. Unfortunately each software manufacturer words this differently but if you do a search for session in your programs help section you should be able to find out how to do this. | Helpgeek (14265) | ||
| 715882 | 2008-10-30 06:15:00 | If it's that old (20 years) Then likely it just can't read the CD-Rs because of their difference in manufacture I've got a few 1/2x CD-ROM drives from 1992 and earlier that can't read anything but CD-ROM either.. and they're probably newer than your stereo! |

| 715884 | 2008-10-30 22:50:00 | Nigel - yes, CDs were closed. Speedy - format was WMA. How do I burn them as CDA? FoxyMX - will try with slower speed Solmeister and Trev - CD player has no problem with commercial CDs. It's just the ones I have burnt myself that it won't play, but, as stated earlier, I can play them on my car stereo and on my wife's portable CD player. I have found a temporary solution. I have connected my wife's CD player via its headphone jack to the Auxiliary on the CD player which allows me to play my home made CDs through my stereo equipment. However, there is some loss in quality doing this. It appears to be a shortcoming with my (old) stereo that needs CDA format, but I can't find out how to do that. Most converters on the 'Net seem to to convert the other way i.e. CDA to MP3 (etc) KB. |
