I have a 99 tl-p and it wont play burnt cds from the computer, i dont get it, some burnt cds will play and others wont, i just burnt a cd no scratches on it or anything, and all does is spit it out, anyone have this problem, is there a fix to it?

 

its a very common problem with the TL. there are acouple fixes.
1. get a 02-03 indash 6disk player (tl only. CL wont work)
2. get a trunk mounted cd changer that will play them
3. aftermarket headunit

 

I was thinking of getting an aftermarkert headunit, when i got my subs and amps installed, but i opted not to b/c i like the clean look with the stock unit. I will have to get some prices on the 6cd changers, anyone know the pricing on the indash, and trunk mounted units?

 

so its really true that the 02-03 head unit doesnt have any problems. mine plays the burnt cd's but takes forever if i skip tracks.

 

Very few have had a problem with the 6 disk palyid cd's where the 99-01 have a very hard time (hit or miss)

 

Its funny b/c my buddy has a 01 Accord V6 and it will play burnt cds all day, no problems, no lag between songs or anything, i dont get it,

 

different HU.

 

I test drove a 99 TL and it had no problems with my burned CDs.

 

i have the same problem, where would I get a 02-03 6 disk changer other than the stealership?

You can also try different brands of CD-Rs some seem to be better with the HU.

but in the end that isnt the fix, that samy brand cd you bought may not work the next time you buy and try them. this is a ancient problem and this has been discussed more times than just about any thing. i spent years trying different brands, and when i found 1 that worked the next batch i would buy sometimes wouldnt.

 

True - the HU is the issue! Discussed as much as the damn B-pillars , yet not as much as the Transmission

 

well back in 2001, 2002 and 2003 this was the discussion, and was/is more than the b-pillars and a close 2nd to the tranny. every one had the damn problem. Back then the dealers really knew about the problem and were swapping out HU's left and right!

 

I had a LOT of success with a Mitsumi 8x SCSI burner (circa 2000) and a 2001 batch of Verbatim 8x CDRs. These 52x Sonys on my Dell 48x burner play most of the time but you can't skip tracks...the Memorex 52x on the Dell 48x burner won't do anything at all (spin up forever). If I fire up my old school 8x burner I can get it to play after about 2 mins of spinning but you can't skip tracks. I have an 01.

 

The sony ones work all the time. Just remember to buy the sony with the purple/bluish of the back part of the cd.

 

none of the sony's Ever worked for me. Like stated before its hit and miss with brands and player. The only ones that would sometimes work for me were verbaitum azul blues. (and even them stoped being playable in the car too)

 

Has anyone found the answer to this annoying problem? My 2001 TL plays burned CDs, but I cannot skip tracks beause it gets confused. I am trying different brands and different speeds without any luck.

Has anyone figured out how to play burned CDs in a TL?

 

I had the same problem as far as i know there is no way to fix it but put a new headunit in that plays cd-r type disks. I tried many things to to try to save money by not putting in a nice headunit but it didnt work. As far as i know the stock acura headunit doesnt read CD-R disks and if it does only for a short time. I would suggest getting a new headunit....... Some people say different kids of CD-R work like sony u could try that....

 

I tried Sony, Memorex. Next brands are Fuji Film and Staples. This is a strange problem. I've had my 2001 TL for two years and this was never an issue. I've played dozens of burnt CDs. A few weeks ago it stopped working correctly.

Not sure if it's the brand I was using or the HU finally going.

 

After reading through this thread, and trying several brands I found that Fuji Film works perfectly. This is obviously good news.

 

Untill the next batch.

 

I have found that the CD burning application I use on my PC makes a difference in how they play in my 2000 TL. I use a component of Nero Burning ROM called NeroMix and most of my CDs play with no problem.

Make sure you burn your CDs at the lowest possible speed setting. This allows the laser to create the deeepest "cuts" in the CDR media, which increases reliability.

Also, remember that CDs are read from the inside out. If you get out to the 6th or 7th track and search to a new track, it may take some time for the player to adjust the speed and find the requested track.

Hope this helps.

 

I am going to have to try that option too

 

Yep, it's fall again, and time to drag out the old explanation of this. . .starts about 1/2 to 2/3's of the way down the following post. . .

ive tried a lot of different cds and i could never skip songs cause it would take (no lie) like 3-10 minutes to change. so finally i tried a sony cd-r 700 recorded at like 40-something, and i have no problems at all. skipping tracks takes 1-5 SENCONDS TOPS! i hopes this helps anyone else.

 

Just burn the audio CDs using Windows Media Player 10. All my CDs work as good as the regular ones. This really helps.

 

Moldie oldie.

I used WMP10 to burn CDs. And nero. And a bunch of others. No dice. My solution was to get an ipod

 

get an mp3 player.....

 

Try to burn your cd in 4x too.. somethime it help..

 

Whats up fellas, i have a 2000 tl and i have the same problems with burnt cds ...i have a little regiman that works most of the time .

1. I put in normal cd ( not burnt) let it play for about a half a song
2. I put in the burnt cd
3. as its read the cd i press and hold the scan button ( the botton on the dash that you press to go to the next song )
4. As soon as i here the slightest bit of sound ..I let go and the cd plays .
5 . to skip tracks you have to again press and hold the the scan buton


Its such a pain in the ass sometimes it doesnt wotk ....also i suggest a cd cleaner

 

I have found the burning the CD on 4X has helped, since I've started doing this I haven't had any problems with my burnt CD's in my 99 TL. Good luck.

 

I have the same problem. However, all burnt cds play with a huge delay in between tracks. If I try to change the track...Thats it done...come back next day message appears... I'll try with Sony cds very soon.

 

Use FujiFilm Cds and burn using Windows media player (the version i use is 10). It works on my player. I tried philips, sony, memorex initially. nothing worked. Now only fuji film works. try ur luck.

 

Mines perfectly works. What i do is get these CD PLAYER cleaners and clean my cd player every week. The cds i use are TDK's. I seem to notice that it works perfectly when i use those Sony iSkins which is a cd plastic that wraps it. Also i noticed that 8/10 cds i put in, it works perfectly until i skip the song, so my suggestion to you is to put the cd in randomize first and let it run till it completely spins. For some reason, unknown why, it plays the music fine after it plays it fine the first time. I use nero and a TDK cd burner, burning at 16x. My success rate of playing the whole CD is 70%. Just remember to clean your cd player with a cleaning cd weekly. Hope this Helps

 

i just gave up on trying every darn cds. i opted for an IPOD with aux connector to the HU

 

I have a 99 and i dont think it has anything to do with the brand of CD or what speed you burn it at 'cause i've tried them both and always have bad luck playing them. sometimes I've even tried $.80/CD (black CD-R)

the reason i say this is because one of my friend's burnt CDs always play and take nearly no time to start reading which leads me to believe it has to do with the computer burning the CD. its happened a few times with other people too though sometimes it'll have problems when you skip a track.

 

yea try diff cds....memorex black backs might work......i had this prob on my stock unit, but forgot what cds worked...

 

is there a cheaper spot to purchase at?
