Euro 6 CD-Stacker query

[V205]

Hi guys,

Can the 6 CD-Stacker in the Euro read CD-RW? (Note the 'RW')

Thanks,
V

EY! i was gonna make a warning thread on this, but totally forgot. DO NOT use CD-R (or burn cd's) in the Euro!!!

the stacker jammed twice, and on the 2nd time, the guy at the honda dealership said it was because the stacker does not like burnt cd's.

i dont know why this happends, because burnt cd's are the same as normal cd's, or so i would have thought.

this MAY have been resolved with newew Euro's, since mines 2003 model...

no probs with burnt copies in my euro..

kam: I never had a jam in my euro's cd changer, & i use mostly burnt cd's... If that is happening with ur euro then its a warranty problem no??

Ermm..... has anyone tried 'rewritables?'... not just the burn-once CD-R's...

RW's wont work on any factory headunit AFAIK

no problem with burnt cd for me.....except on one CD the unit hangs on a track... but i just press skip to skip it and then its fine

i'm not sure here, but i cant understand what effect the type of cd is in terms of making cds jam physically in stacker. Is a cdrw thicker?

The only problem ive ever had was with a burnt cd that i had put a label on, the heat from the unit made the sticky fail and the label seperate partially.

I've only had an issue with 1 CD-R, but it doesn't jam the stacker, it just skips a few of the songs randomly. but the rest of my CD-Rs are working fine.

well, im just going on what the dealer told me... But since ive stopped using CD-R, the stacker has never jammed.

[euro77]

what brand of CD-R do u use? also, do you stick a label on top of the CD? These things if not sticked properly do cause jamming.

I use CD-RW and CD-Rs in my stacker without any jamming so far (7 months). The trick is to use the branded media where the dimensions (thickness, diameter and twist) are actually part of the quality control process.
For CD-R, I use Ricoh Golds, and for CD-RW I use Ricoh 10x (purple ones), Verbatim 10x, Verbatim 12-24x and Imation 4x and 10x discs.

And I NEVER EVER stick any labels on the discs. That is just asking for trouble. Labels cause the disc to go off balance when spinning. A majority of computer CD-ROM drives have built in vibration damping mechanisms (because they spin so fast at up to 50x), but I doubt that audio CD readers have the same.
