Since I bought a new computer this summer, I've noticed that the CD-Rs
that I burn will no longer play on my living room DVD player, which is
my principle CD player. The burner that came with the new machine is a
Samsung SP0802N DVD-ROM/CD Burner. Note that it only plays DVDs, but
will NOT burn them. It only burns CDs. I noticed that when I burn CD-Rs
on this new burner, they will play completely normal on all of the
boomboxes and portable CD players in my house, but when I try to play
them on any of my DVD players, the playback is choppy and barely
listenable. I have observed that the noise becomes louder as the CD
progresses and reaches its peak with the last track on the disc. I have
also noticed that with an increase in burn speed, the intensity of the
playback noise also increases. Can anyone offer a solution, or at least
an explanation to the problem?

1. Burn at a slower speed.
2. Try different, high-quality CD-R media.


The above is good advice, and about the only thing you can do short of what
I am about to suggest. CD burners differ in how deep and well they burn the
pits, and you may have one that is on the light side of spec, or even out of
spec. And the better CD players are ofen not the best at CD-R's and CD-RW's
(some won't play them at all).

You may want to talk to the computer manufacturer and see if they would
agree to swap out the DVD/CD-R burner. Even if not, such burners are not
terribly expenseive these days and if you scrutinize the ads for Best Buy,
Circuit City, or CompUSA you can probably pick up one for $40-50 dollars
which will also burn DVD's. They are a piece of cake to install, and
generally come with instructions if you buy them in a retail box (as opposed
to OEM).
