Flashing C 13:00

[fspta]

Hi there,

I burnt a VCD (CD/RW) to play on my Sony DVD player without a problem using Adapted 4.05 When I tried to add menus (followed the "how to" section on this web page) I get the flashing C 13:00 message on the DVD and nothing playes. Can anyone help!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Sony players are notoriously picky about playing burnt media, although they are always a lot happier with CD-RW than CD-R.

My Sony player (strangely) goes through phases of being able to play CD-R and CD-RW media and phases of just displaying "No Disc" and the notorious C 13:00 error.

To try to get the CD to play all you can do is clean the DVD drive head and clean the CD-RW.

If this doesn't work then try burning onto a different CD-RW media (RICOH brand in particular seem to be good)

Good luck with this, there are threads a mile long on the web about people not being able to play stuff on the Sonys.

What works for me is to make a raw cd-copy of the disk that give this error. The copy will work fine.
