NCD2013. The CD i was playing is one i did on the computer.
It plays perfectly on my player indoors.
There is no error messages that i can see apart from in the top bit of the player it says track 4 yet at the bottom of the display it says no CD.
It did play a bit this morning a couple of times but now its gone back to its negative ways. >:(

Yup home brew CD's don't take long to nacker the players, facelift ones are particularly weak.

Sounds like your laser can no longer detect the disc that is in there and does not know its own internal state.

Remove radio for 1 hour, refit (code if required) and eject disc quickly before any other function is used.

for more info on copied discs, see here

Why on earth would a cd made on a computer be any different than a shop bought one. I can understand some cheap blank cd's can be a problem. Can it be the write speed?
Trouble is i'm a bit fussy about what i listen to.I don't always like all the tracks on a cd so i cut out the rubbish and copy the stuff i do like. :-?

Yes, CDRs are a problem in these (CDRWs don't work at all).

So whilst it may play, you will be (drastically) shortening the life of the lasers.

I have found top quality media (ie, Verbatim) burned at the slowest speed (normally 4x) on a quality desktop writer (Pioneer) to be the most successful, but you are still ultimately doing damage...

Doesn`t matter which discs you are using as a get around, the format of the recordable disc is still incompatable

Indeed. Its still doing damage, and cannot be recommended.  Just stating what works for me - plus I have enough spares to see me through my Omega ownership ;D

Whilst they may work (for a while), they are still CDRs, thus cause the same strain on the laser.
