CD-RW works on Sony 9000ES

I have tried this very CD-RW and could not get it to play. It would read the disk and knew the number of tracks--but would not play. Most of the brands just return an error. My pioneer plays just about everything (CD-R, CD-RW all brands that I have tried). I tried to find this information from Sony--they were of no help and told me it is beyond their scope. You can see their full response under "Best and Worst Customer Service" in the A-gon forums.

I just bought my Sony 9000ES, maybe mine has some updated software that allows it to read the RW's.

Could it be that the CD burner you are using is in some way compatible with the Sony, and not necessarily the discs themselves?

Bmpnyc--it could be. It's an HP CD writer plus. I don't know enough about how the hardware actually burns the CDs to know if there is a difference. It works well in the Pioneer players I've tried it in. CD-Rs work well in almost all of my CD players. So far no luck on the Sony--the software in the Sony could be the key--but Sony has offered no help in even answering my questions. I will contact the dealer and check for software updates--there weren't any posted on Sony's website.

Abstract, Please keep us posted. I plan to get a 9000ES soon, CD-RW or not, but it would sure be nice to find a "workaround".
