I have a 02 tl and every time I try to play a burned cd it takes forever to load. I put the same cds in any other player and it reads right away. What's with the cd player? Any adveice as to why this happens?

 

i have an 03 and it does the same thing. i don't think our cd players can read other formats...
kind of sucks!

 

I had the same problem, eventually my orginal cds would take a bit longer to load, so i brought it to the dealer and they gave me a new one under warranty. Try burning ur cds at a lower speed and try using diff cd-r brands, it works for me.

So far I don't have that problem. If my cds don't play in regular stereos (after i burned them incorrectly) then obviously it will show an error msg when put into the acura player...maybe try switching CD-burning programs and see if the problem persist??

 

My burned cds play fine in every other cd player I've tried..BMW.Infinity and assorted boom boxes etc. There has to be some problem with the Acura players.

 

the only cds that work perfectly for me are memorex. too bad they are some of the most expensive brand

 

Same here... and the ones that work the best are the Memorex BLACK ones... I can burn'em at high speed (over 24) and still plays fine.

 

i have absolutely NO problem playing CDR's in my 03 TLS....

yamaha burner at 16X , Verbatim blanks.....

NEVER had a problem....

 

me neither---03 tl-s
All types of cd-r's and burn speeds work in my player

 

Memorex all black are the only ones that will play for me. Maybe the other ones are too bootleg or something.

 

memorex ownZ jhoooo

 

yeah the black ones do work for me, but I cant find them anymore!!!! grrr.... I hate this god forsaken cd player. I've gone ghetto and put a portable CD player in my TL with a tape adaptor!!!! Isn't it awful? I hate it.

 

Don't waste your time with slow burning or different cd brands. I tried for 8 months and finally decided to get a cd player. all my cd-rs work now.

 

I have a 99TL and the Philips CD-R 80 min./700MB media have some problems tracking. However, the TDK CD-R 650MB/74min work fine. The TDK 650MB/74min. media should work for you.

 

ALL CDR BRANDS ARE ****TY IN MY TL. SOME TAKE FOREVER TO READ AND SOME DONT READ AT ALL. FOR THIS REASON I DONT FEEL LIKE BUYING ANOTHER ACURA.

 

Thanks for your input. I'll try some of the suggestions and keep you posted.

 

I just recently bought a 2000 TL and i noticed the same problem. A fix to that problem that i did was i converted my mp3 files into WAV format and then burned it at 4x on to my cd-r. I currently use memorex cd-r's. After doing that, i havent had any problems playing cd's in my car anymore. Hope that help some of you.

 

i ALWAYS do this too, maybe just out of habit from back when i had a slower machine. not sure if this helps as far as this issue is concerned, but i do know i NEVER had any trouble with cdr's in my 03 TLS...

 

have you tested your audio cd in any other player? for those that converted into WAV format, did you just burn the WAV file or did u create an audio cd?

 

i use roxio and i choose audio cd, and then select the wav files to burn...

 

I tested the cd's that i burnt on other cd players and all work fine. Still works the same as MP3.

 

I tried different software (EZCD and Nero), different speeds (4x to 40x), and different formats (CD Copy, creating an audio CD). The problem is the discs. I bought the "Audio CD-R" discs, thinking they might work better, but they actually eject from the player after I put them in.

I brought it into the dealer today, they told me to stop playing burned discs. Would it behove me to insist on them replacing the unit? And if they did, wouldn't they just replace it with another deficient one? My dealer said that they replace peoples units if a CD gets stuck, but they will only make the replacement once, under warranty. Well, I haven't had any CDs stuck thankfully. But he also won't give me a new unit .

 

It is not the player... usually it isn't. You just have to find the right discs that the player likes. My ***** sony dvd player is so gawd damn picky. my apex is nice, he loves every type of cdr.

 

hey really good ideas, next question is do you need a special program to convert your music files into a WAV file?
and @ 4xspeed?

 

while i'm sure there are MANY programs to do this, i use winamp to do it. works for me, and never had a problem, so i just stick with it.....

i burn mine at 16X with absolutley no problems in the TL

 

Just burn your cd's with nero 5, any updated version, i burn my audio cd's at 52x and they play fine in my 03 acura tl-s
One of the biggest problems when cd's wont play is the medium, i use memorex's sonys, and tdk's

i have dis same god da*n problem wit my 99 tl, i was thinking bout buying a cd changer and puttin it in the glove compartment or under the arm rest thing. could i do that?? and TDK @ 52x work sumtimes. Memorex at40x.

 

i know a lot of car radios are very sensitive...u should try as suggested above different cd-r and burn at a slower speed...it that doesnt work get a new one under warranty.

 

I use Memorex CD's, and use Nero to burn the CD at 8x...and so far I've never had a problem. Only once did the CD Player not read it, so I got a little worried, but then tried it in my van, and home CD player, and it didn't play either, so I figured it was the CD that was messed.

My cd's load the same speed as regular ones.

 

i have a 99 tl and i've tried them all
TDK works best for me
try it...good luck
