Subject:CD player won't recognize CD Posted by: Bryan59 Date:1/15/2002 9:30:19 PM So I burned the CD using the create CD. I did close the CD so it could play on a CD player. Now the computer recognizes it and the CD Walkman can play it, but the CD player on the stereo system doesn't. Any idea why? Bryan

Subject:CDR vs CD explained Reply by: Rednroll Date:1/16/2002 9:32:19 AM Older CD players won't recognize CDR's and also alot of DVD players. If your CD player does not read your CDR then it probably does not support playing of a CDR. When data is written to a CDR, it is written differently than on a normal CD. Older CD players used a single beam laser pickup, which won't read a CDR. On a CDR the data is written in an "S" shape fashion, where on a normal CD it is written in a straight line. Newer CD players use a 3 beam laser, where 2 of the beams are used to track the edges of the data. Thus, it can follow the "S" shape pattern of a CDR and single beam older CD players can't.

I'm guessing that with the cheap price of the Emerson also came inferior quality optics.

There are 3 main factors in CD players that decide the quality and features of a player. The first is the type of optics that are used, the next is the CD-IC chip, which controls everything and makes up how well your cd player plays scratched disks and such. The third is the actual software written for the player. The 2 cost savers in a CD Player are the CD-IC and the Optics, when you buy a cheaper CD player.
