paulr Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Well, we'll start with the basics - does the CD work fine in other players? and does your car's player STILL work fine with other disks?Assuming both are "yes", then I'm guessing the CD is likely incompatible - I've heard of issues with some of the copy protection systems found on some disks messing up older players. Or it could be a CD with extra features or something else that's messing it up. Or maybe your car doesn't like it like you said, heh. Your best bet might be to copy it using a computer, or rip the songs to FLAC / WMA / MP3, and then re-burn them, so you don't copy over whatever is messing it up. Maybe someone else knows about specific compatibility issues with the stock player / this particular CD? I almost never BUY cds, so can't say I've experienced this problem.

paulr Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 is it one of those pretty-fangled hdcds or whatever they're called...Exactly what I was getting at with the "does it work in other players" - I think SACD is supposed to be backwards compatable, but some units don't like it, and other formats (DVD-A) don't even try.

giantrobot9000 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 That must be what it is.I'll try some other new cds of mine that I think are hdcds or whatever and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
