CDRs for anyone who has problems w/ you sony car cd changer

[dirtrat]

<< and the S/N Ratio is only 90 now instead of the 99+ I have on my old ES stuff? Don't know what sony is thinking but they suck now... >>



Hahaha, this cracks me up when I read this kind of stuff. What do you suppose the noise level is in your car when you are driving? Do you honestly beleive you could tell the difference between this S/N ratio? I also own an older ES CD player but we are talking about listening to music in a high noise enviroment, not at home.

Anyone has a 97 Honda Accord V6? I have found this car's Cd headunit always having a hard time to read any generic CDR. Anyone having the same problem? I am still using the HP 7200 CD burner and those generic CDR wherever onsale in Fry's .

I thought you could hear a difference in the s/n ratio....kinda like cd's sound better cuz they have a higher s/n ratio and tapes have a lower one? I could be wrong though....and I think I could definately hear the difference with a quality stereo...I noticed a big change when I switched HU's in my stereo.

who really orders spindle cd's one at a time anyways..... i usually ask everyone i know and order 400-500 (cd's that is, not spindle packs). then slit that shipping between everyone...

djhango - LOL! you are right about acer tech support. they got idiots working there. i called them up since i have a problem burning audio cds with one of those clearance acer 8x4x32's for 80.00@staples and the moron techsupport guy informed me that you are unabl to burn audio at greater than 2x NO MATTER WHAT. and that its the same even if you are using plextor. bullsh*t!!! i've seen on other forums that people are burning audio at 12x on plextors, teacs, sony's, etc with ease. its just that acer junk are all POS! to further top it off, this same guy told me that in a 8x4x32 burner, the first number reflects how fast it burns data and the 2nd number reflects how fast it burns audio at! HAHAHHAH!!!!!
i mean c'mon, i'm not saying that i'm a genius at hardware by *any* means, but why put someone in techsupport if they cant even read the label on the box correctly let alone try to troubleshoot technical problems??!! can you imagine what other stuff this guy must say to other people?

btw, acer is just a POS hardware.. i went and got the sony 12x8x32 at compusa and it burns audio at 12x without any skipping or static. very clean burn.


kimagurealex - my brother has a '97 honda accord , but not the v6 model, and all the audio cd's we make works fine on his car. i've noticed that the brand makes a difference too. in my kenwood deck on my 1st car it would not read hi-val cdrs but reads TDK cdrs just fine. in my clarion deck on my current car, it reads both the hival and tdk cdrs. (the kenwood was an entry model unit@$130 , the clarion was@$300) guess that old saying 'you get what you pay for' holds true in this case.....

I use optical cables in my car and at home and the difference between 90 and 99+ is not that big in a factory or low power system but since I use optical cables and have two amps (a 2channel and a 4channel) I can tell the difference BIG time, I agree most will not notice, but when you have a A1 setup just a loose speaker wire can make a big difference, etc...
Also I have used a lot of CDR's and the only ones that I have ever had a problem with were the HI-Vals. ???
