CD Player issue?


I was given a CD player as a gift recently. It's called the Pioneer PD-2000 LTD.

The lens had fallen out, but I was able to fit in back in easily.

The problem? Well it won't read any of my burned CD-Rs.

It reads original CDs very fast. Any reason why this might be the case?

Perhaps there is something else that can be done?

I just want to  ask you A burned CD might not work in your car's CD player for a few reasons, all related to the media type (for example, CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R), music format, burn method, and the head unit's capabilities. Some head units are touchier than others, and some recognize a limited set of file types.

I think you have to Very often audio CD’s burned at slower speeds will work in audio players while disks burned at higher speeds won’t. It’s been said that the laser encoding is somehow "clearer" when burning at slower speeds and this helps audio players, which often have a problem with home-burned CD’s, to cope with the disks. FaceTime

Try cleaning the DVD drive lens with a lens cleaning disc. If this doesn't work you may have to open the player (with the power removed) to gain access to the DVD drive so that you can open it and clean the lens more thoroughly with a Qtip (cotton bud) moistened with isopropyl alcohol. There are videos on You Tube showing you how.FMC 4 ME
