How To Burn CD's So It Will Play In Sony DVPS9000?

I have the same player. If you look on page 7 of the manual it states it cannot play CD-Rs. I have been told that it will play Sony CD-RWs, but have never tried it. I sent an e-mail to Sony's technical support to find out what media (including brands) would play in their unit. They replied: "We're sorry, your question is beyond the scope of our technical support team." I think their "scope" must be limited to how to play, stop, power on, power off--and maybe some advance features like skipping to a scene.

I'm using an NTI CD maker to burn MP3 files to a CDRW on my Plexwriter 12/10/32S to play on my S9000ES. I never had any luck using a CDR to play on my S9000ES and I tried quite a few.

If the laser isn't calibrated to read the wavelengths reflected by the ink on CD-Rs, there's no way the machine will play them. CD-RW's reflect light in a completely different way, but the wavelength reflected is very similar to CD's, just MUCH lower level. Seems like a big oversight from sony not to include the CDR feature on their machines. Cheers!

I've actually seen a computer CDR go in the DVPS9000 and heard music come out of the speakers though! I told him the DVPS9000 wouldn't play CDR's but he proved me wrong. I was very surprised to say the least. It has been done and I just need to figure how.

Ive had the same question. I would love to buy one of these things and use it as my main CDP as well as DVD.
I cant afford to have a high end cDP and DVD right now and this unit plays cd's wonderfully but w/ no cdr i cant buy it unless i found a way for it to work.

Yes it will play CDR-W's perfectly. I also have a music cd-R from Maxell that was recorded with the EXACT CD copy software (free on the Net)and I can hear Harry Belafonte loud and clear. I have not used this software myself, so I cannot garantee it will work...but cd-rW's, no problem so far !

I have tried many CD-R's (black, silver, blue) burned with two quite different burners and none of them work in my Sony DVPS9000. I've also tried various CD-RW's and they work everytime. As said above, for some reason SONY only included a single frequency laser in the 9000, designed for the pit size of DVD/SACD disks (most players even $200 ones usually have dual frequency). The SONY of course can read pressed (precorded) CD's, but CD-R's which have a lower reflectance are beyond it. I have read a few reports of specific CD-R and burner combinations working, although I've never been able to do it.

I rarely try to use CD-Rs in my S9000ES, but the Fujifilm CD-Rs that I use usually work.

I think it depend on which CD burner you use.

My friend has a 5-disc SONY DVD player and it only accept audio CDs from a CD burner and a DVD burner. It will refuse any other CDRs.
