Nartatodus Unregistered guest | Hi, I have a clarion bd216 cd player in my 1991 toyota camry. Regular cds play fine, but cd-rs play only sometimes and are stopped by disk read errors. What should I do to fix this problem? My ideas were changing the write speed, putting one of those new protective shields that they have on, or buying a different type of cd-r. If you think you can help me aout at all, PLEASE leave a message. |

Nartatodus Unregistered guest | Ok, does anyone recommend I use TDK? I did some research and it seems that a few people had problems very similar to mine and that fixed it. I guess darker cd-rs are supposed to be better. My Clarion is 2001. |

Nartatodus Unregistered guest | Ok, I now believe it is not the cds themselves. Besides I have fuji and maxell. I get ER 3-indicates the pickup focus is off because of scratched disk or some other factor during play(my cds have no scratches as i just burned them). Sometimes when i get this message my cd player makes funny noises and sounds like its spinning the disk too fast and overheating. Also, occosionally an error six which happens for regular cds and cd-rs. ER 6-indicates table of contents cant be read or disk is upside down, a regular cd shouldnt get that message at all. I am going to buy a lens cleaning kit if you guys think its a good idea. The deck is four years old. Sorry, for such a long message! |

Anonymous | spray some air spray inside the radio instead of taking a chance and scratching the lens more by using a lens cleaner.. which is a brush glued on a cd that can be as ruff as wool just insert the stick that comes with the air spray inside the slot where you put the cd and make sure the bottle isnt upside down |

When you burn your CD's do them at the SLOWEST speed you possibly can (this gives more compatibility to different brands of CD's & CD players). I've been burning mine at 4X ever since and have not had the problem since I started doing this no matter what brand of CD-R I buy. |
