once in a while one will play but most of the time I get a "check disc" error. Any tips on how to get them to play?

 

the label side goes up!

I had the same problem...just burn them at the lowest possible speed and this should correct it.

 

what afeldman327 said...i had the same problem...started using 4x and the problems went away

 

If you got a nice Plextor burner, 20x is good enough for most CD players.

CDs, into the slot.
A new CD may have rough edges on its
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc
with rough edges is used, proper
setting will not be possible and the CD
player/changer will not play the CD.
Remove the rough edges in advance by
using a ball-point pen or pencil as
shown below. To remove the rough
edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil
against the inner and outer perimeter of
the CD. then theres a pic of the long side of a pencil being run round the outer rim of the cd

Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical
components (prism and lens) in the CD
player/changer may become clouded with
condensation. At this time, the CD will
eject immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded
optical components will clear naturally in
about an hour. Wait for normal operation
to return before attempting to use the unit.

 

thanks for the suggestions
