Luv my C70 Coupe! Hate the SC-901 CD player. It will not accept home made CD's that I burn on my home computer. My wifes 2004 F-150 Crew Cab will play them on her Ford cd player, but they will not even load on the Volvo SC-901. Any ideas or help? Thanks

Those things are finiky as all hell. I can get some burned cd's to play in my SC-811 w/ 6 disc changer but not others. I'm trying to pinpoint what is going "wrong" but can't seem to find anything specific, maybe someone else knows?
Are you trying to play MP3 cd's or just direct copy's? I can get some of both to work in mine it is very odd...

i had a similar problem and settled for the kickass aftermarket, but some of the problem has to do with the brand of cd you use, for instance i could get some generic cd's to work, but not the fancy "music" cd-r's try different types if you don't want to pay for a hu

I had this problemn but like the "original" look and have surround too so didn't want to change. I found that if I use CDR's designed for audio (JVC CDR-80 for Audio) and burn slowly (I use Nero 6 at 4x speed) they work fine. I've bunt over 40 discs this year and not a single skip. Have read elsewhere that the Alpine CHM-620/630, that can attach to your HU, will cope with other disc types too and may even cope with MP3 encoded. Not verified this personally though.

Man... 4x speed? 1998 called and they want thier burner back.
I'd kill myself waiting 30 minutes for a cd.... Sh*t even I'm living in the past with my 16x burner... It sucks that you have to put up with such a finiky deck.

I had the same problem with 'home-burnt' CDs...even some originals if they got a bit scuffed - and that was after paying for an SC-901 upgrade from the orginal SC-900 (the changer really stunk on that)
I've just got the Alpine S634 (CDR/RW and MP3
) changer. Had to hook it in with a Vol02Alp adaptor (£55) and an adaptor for the changer cable (£15). Works a treat. I plan to mount it in the glovebox and do away with the HU changer forever !!

Hey There,
I spent numerous days trying to get a various mix cd I had created to work with my SC-901 unit.
I went and bought various brands and sizes of CDRs.
I found that the burner has everything to do with it also.
Same CD copied onto same media using 3 different burners at 48x...1 didnt work at all, 1 worked but takes a while to find a track, and 1 works like a dream
The most consistent success I have had is with a "Diamond Data" (cheap as chips straight off the shelf internal unit), and it burns up to 52X, on a 700MB CDR. The higher the burn speed, the more likely it will take time for the SC-901 to find the track...and you sit and in hope of it finding the track.
If you let a CD play straight through, without jumping up and down through tracks, the 901 smoothly finds the beginning of each track...if you jump around the 901 will sometimes forget it is a cd player and stare at you blankly.
So I suggest that before you go and buy anything, get a stack of 10 and call it a loss, and then try a few burners of friends relatives, work, pc shops, anywhere they let you burn something, and copy an original CD that you know works, and you will see the burner in your region which will do the trick.
I was this >< close to buying a new system.....but I still day dream about MP3s.
Good Luck
