Just finished my HU install and having a few problems. I installed an Alpine 9857 that is supposed to be CD-R and MP3 compatible. When I try to play them I will either get "ERROR" or the sound will skip and sound scratchy. When playing a store bought CD it sounds perfect and so does the radio. Any ideas? CDR brand? If so I use Memorex CDR's. What's the deal?!

 

burn an mp3 cd at 2X speed,run it, and post back.

 

I thought I knew, but how???????

 

Lower the burn speed on your PC to 2X, whatever you are using to burn, should ask you what speed you want to burn at.

 

I just installed mines like a week ago and burned a data CD full of MP3 in different folder and everything displays perfectly and plays perfectly also.

Also love the search function on this thing!

 

What brand of CD-Rs are you using???

 

No problems here either. I burned one with iTunes, and one with Toast. NOTE: I burned mine off a Mac.

 

I'm using Memorex also...
