Genki CDR Playback


Hello,

I finally received my dysfunctional Genki back from the Linn repair shop (Florida). It now has a new main board, laser, and loading mechanism. I think only the case is original. So far, it plays store bought CDs well. I am unable to get it to play CDRs, which is very disappointing because even the cheapest CD players can play them.

I have unsuccessfully tried both Sony and Philips CDRs. Has anyone else had problems with CDRs? Does my Genki need to go back to Florida again? Thanks.

I used to own a genki, if the CDR used were burned in a
computer it did had problems reading some of them. If they were burned in my Sony RCD-W10(stand alone dual tray machine) it will play them perfectly.

For your peace of mind, those CDR that I burned in my computer did gave me problems in other cd players as well.
Sounds like they didn't change the D/A converter in your Genki, my guest is that if you are using CDRs burned in a stand alone unit and your Genki is having problems reading
them the poblem might be in the D/A converter. By the way I have used Maxell CDR with great success.

One last word, make sure the CDRs you are using have the word "music" on them, when I firts bought them the salesman
at the store gave me regular CDRs for data.

Hope this helps, Hector.
