It seems my CCR2006 is very selective about what CDRs it will and won't play. It will pick up them all, but with certain brands, it will skip and hang, even with new disks. For example, I think Steve always had problems with Morrisons Disks.

I don't think it's the lens, because it's fine with normal CDs from HMV etc.

Does anyone have experience of CDRs that work well with this unit?

Cheers

very mixed results here as well.

Best tip is to burn them as slowly as your recorder allows, seems to write with better accuracy.

TDK and Verbatim here, all generally reasonable, but not perfect.

Thast because most burnt CDR's dont meet the generic CD spec......

[-Alex-]

Ah was just about to post about this - so slow burning and good quality CDR's may work? I was beginning to think I was going mad

[Jimbob]

*MAY* work better

I'd also run a cleaning disk through as well

[Craig_R]

Yep this is one reason i took out my CCR 2006 it hated my Burnt CD-R's i had some that worked fine only if i burnt them at 2X or at real time total pain in the butt

[Jimbob]

ours runs mainly on cdr's

generally ok

some (most) disks are fine
some disks bugger about a bit
some skip and jump the whole disk

I find it's very hit & miss.

I've tried all kinds of makes & always burn at the slowest speed.

i have NEVER been able to get a CDR to run on my 2006....total pain in the a$$, hence the reason for buying the ipod and H&K kit

Try ritek or traxdata. If 52 speed disc burn at 48 speed,never had a bad one yet.

p.s. do not use stick on lables as they can damage the car cd player

I press alot of audio discs, semi professionally and have found only one brand of disc that doesn't give any grief, made by 3M, branded 'Imation'

The place to go buy is SVP online, superb service...

...and while you're at it, put a new Pioneer DVD writer in your basket, these are the business

I have best success with Verbatim discs.  Ritek (who are a dye manufacturer) discs are variable, from utter rubbish to reasonable depending on who makes them.

I too would recommend SVP as a supplier.

What is the reason that is reads CDs so badly? It’s not common in other VX 1DIN radios and CD changers. I had old CD player in my Vectra and it newer had any problem with any CD.
Is it because of the lens or laser or whore reading system? I was thinking about replacing lens and laser with something better but don’t know if it’s possible to fit anything.

Not sure but I've heard those can be really useful for kerb crawling to ensure you get what you're paying for  

Best solution is to bin the unit and fit something decent. Factory head units are rarely worth putting any effort into, they are built down to a price and it shows (and sounds it).

CD`rs and CD`rws use a smaller mark on the disc than an audio CD player and the older players and OEM units have difficulty in focussing the laser on the smaller dots. If you do have a player that reads a CDR, you are strining the laser and will shorten the life by approx 80%
