Anyone had problems with CDR's?
#1
Mine has been working ok so far, but seems to have had a problem ejecting a CDR. Gave me an error 3. I eventually got it out but had to pull it out when it stopped only halfway out.
I know the instructions for the 6 CD in dash player says only to use original CDs, but is there that much of a difference?

Physically impossible that it is the format of the disc
If it reads the disk as closed and plays the tunes, your problem is not with the player. Do you have this problem with all your CDR's? Some cheap CDR's are a tiny bit thicker than others, what brand of CDR's do you use. I use Kodak Gold Ultra and they work great, although some have told me that the green/ silver discs work better.
More information please...

It does read the disk and play the tunes. So far it has only been with one CDR that wouldn't eject. All of the CDR's I've been using have been TDK's. I haven't had problems with TDK's on any other player before.

Rod, I use TDK and Memorex CDR's. I have found that those two work best on many CD players. Honda CD players have the hardest time actually reading CDR's, and I have found these two brands work the best. Among the two, I like TDK the best.
As for the CD not ejecting properly, what captclam said about some CDR's being thicker is probably the problem. Have you put a label on the CD? When you apply a label (sticker label) they can get stuck - this happens to me often on some GM CD players like the ones in the new pickup trucks. I've had to dig a CDR, with a label, out of my Dad's Z-71 pickup before.

Rule 1: stick with a good media brand.
Rule 2: avoid Blue CDRs if possible.
Rule 3: the best are Black CDRs. they work with everything. memorex makes them. even copy videogame cd's "for back up".
they even worked on a friends old kenwood that never played any other CDR's.

Alpine & CDR's
Finally broke down & got a burner for my home system & oldest son made some CDR's using TDK discs. Funny thing is they won't play in the Alpine DVA-5200 but will in the CHA-S624 changer. Not really a problem - more of an inconvenience. I understand that the newer Alpine models like the DVA-5205 will play them. Isn't technology great!

You guys mean that video games can be burned????
People told me that they can't so I never bothered to try it. Anyways, whats the process? Do I just put it in the computer, burn it, and then record it on a blank disc?
What type of CD? thanks

CDR in a DVA-5205
Which CDR's will work in an Alpine DVA-5205? I've tried the TDK, Sony, Memorex (green), GQ, and Honan. All with no luck - the player won't recognize them as CD Audio discs. Anyone have any luck with a specific brand in a DVA-5205?
Or do I have to sell my DVA-5205 and get the new DVD changer that Alpine themselves say plays CDR's? Please tell me it ain't so... I can almost hear that cash register chiming... LOL

There is a code on the original disc of the game that does not copy. I don't remember exactly how this is done, but I think you put in a regular playstation game to let the game system read the code and then put in your copy of the game you want to play into the PS once the code has been read.
There is also some type of chip you can buy and install, or have installed, that makes it where your PS can easily play copied games without tricking the PS into reading a code off another disc. I think the chip was fairly inexpensive. If you do a search online on this subject you will find a lot of information. More than you will ever want to know - or that I could tell you
