DVD s reading CD-R s and CD-RW s

This is a known problem. Your Sony will read some media--but not most. It won't even read the Sony media. At least that's for the 9000ES. I have not gotten mine to read any CD-Rs but I understand it does better with CD-RW. I have yet to try those, but will in the near future. Phillips and Pioneer do much better on this media. For more information go to www.vcdhelp.com and click on DVD players. It will bring up a compatibility list and you can search for particular players--or all players that do CD-R. The list, however, is not 100% accurate. Sony is a good example of that--it will do CD-R and RW, but not for all media. I'm still trying to find the right media--if I do I'll post it here.

Which Sony player are you using? My DVP-7700 reads CDRs just fine, and I thought Sony was a line that did in general (obviously I'm wrong!). There are a lot of DVD players that don't, so it's definitely an issue.

Kthomas: Could you let us know what brand of media you are using. In my post--that's what I meant--it does work for some brands--but not all. Any that you have tried and found it to work--please let us know.

My dealer told me that Pioneer is ahead in the chip technology and can read those formats. But I would try before buy. Regards.
