6 in Dash CD changer problem

[vicken]

I recently ran into a little problem with my Cd player, never had this problem before. it started about 4 weeks ago, It starts skipping when playing burnt CD's I can hear the CD spinning making that awful chirping noise, i did try different brand CDR and different way of burning but no luck, funny thing is it doesn't do it with original copies.any ideas suggestions similar problems? thanks.

Do you put self-adhesive stickers on your CD-R? If yes, it is possible that the CD-R with this add-on will be thicker and cause this problem...

Good point VibeSalsa. Sticker can unbalance the CD and cause some trouble. But unfortunally, Vicken does not use sticker in her CD-R.I know you used different brand of CD-R but have you tried different color? Some CD reciver has trouble with green CD-R and are working better with silver or gold.

I agree with Ben's recommendation on trying a different brand of CD-R. Specifically, try buying a small pack of the most expensive brand-name blank CD-Rs you can find - Sony have worked well for me. Unforunately, quality does cost more when it comes to CD-Rs. The cheapies are fine for data backup purposes, but not for audio CDs. Although I haven't had this problem in my Vibe's stereo, I certainly burned several useless audio CD's that were fine in a computer but didn't read in a car's stereo. The symptoms were similar - some tracks might read okay, but some tracks would cause the player to whirr noisily as you described, skip a while, and then sometimes settled down several tracks away (or not at all).Don't forget to post back whether this worked for you or not! Hope it helps!

I forgot 1 point. Are your CD-R 74 or 80 mins. Some CD player have trouble with reading lastest track on a 80 mins CD-R.

Are your regular cds working cuz if not maybe it's the radio cuz my radio was making sounds also and when I took it in they ended up replacing it.
