CD-RW works on Sony 9000ES

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".

I also have an HP CD writer Plus (9300 series) that I use to burn the CD-RW's that read and play great in my Sony 9000ES, so maybe the difference IS in our 9000ES's.

This topic has been covered in the past but it is important to repeat it. Just because a disc says Memorex doesn't mean it is made by Memorex. As a matter of fact, Memorex does not manufacture disc's. They source them out. Right now they source them out to the Taiwan manufacturer Rytek, who is known to make poor quality CDR's. Yes they may play for now, but for how long? Again, for more information on this important topic visit this site, www.cdmediaworld.com It has losts of good information and links to other sites that will help you understand the truth about CDR's.

BTW, I stopped at a shop this past week and all my CDR's played fine in a DVD player made by NAD, for what it is worth. I'm not sure of the model but the retail price was $900.00.
