Even "Cheap" CD-RW work in Sony 9000ES

Well I went down to Best Buy this week and bought the cheapest no name CD-RW's to try in my Sony. I bought a 10 pack of "PNY" Technologies CD-RW's for $7.99 (.79 each), burned them on my HP CD writer+ 9300, and guess what...They worked on the 9000ES!!!!! I even erased one and re-recorded over it and it still read it just fine!!! Now if I can just find a CDR blank with the same reflectivity properties as the CD-RW. I'll keep trying different CDR's and IF I find one that works I'll report back!!

Rmml: you are correct. At www.vcdhelp.com it states the 9000 will play both R and RW. In the manual it states that it will not play CD-R. I had gotten my sources confused.

My recollection is reading that there are two storage sizes with CD-Rs, and the Sony 9000 plays one size and not the other. Hearsay, but it seemed to be a good source.

I created a CD-RW music CD with my LG CD burner using a Memorex Fast Write CD-RW. The CD-RW plays in my computer's Toshiba DVD player and in the S9000ES. It does not play in any of my two cars.

I created a CD-R music CD. It plays in my computer's DVD player, and both cars, but not my S9000ES. The CD-R is not Memorex.

I need to play with this a little more to see if I'm causing something with my settings. These were my first CD-R's and CD-RWs.
