Toshiba SD2800 - CDR playing

[kc7283]

I recently bought a Toshiba SD2800 but I am having problems playing CDRs with it.

It will jitter every 10-15 seconds on certain brands of CDR ( Memorex, Maxell - blue media ) but is ok on light blue media ( Cursor, OptiDisc )

I play the same blue discs on a friend's Pioneer 343 and they work perfectly... kind of disappointed that I bought the Toshiba

The Memorex and Maxell CDR's that I have are pretty old stock ( not even sure about the speed - probably 4x ) whereas the Cursor and OptiDisc are newer (24x). I also try SmartBuy ( light green ). It doesn't jitter as much as the blue disc but it still jitters every once in a while

I am buring my vcds using nero CD-copy at 4x.

Is it the color of the dye or the speed that really matters? Any help is greatly appreciated...

Anyone know any compatible CDRs for the Toshiba SD2800? Any help would be appreciated...

He he i have this problem too. and I do believe that the problem lies on the dye color, I had 2 type of memorex CD and one would play really smooth while the other skips every 10-15 sec like the above discription. The one that played smooth was an old version of Memorex with light dye color, i believe it's silver while the new one is blue. I can't find the old Memorex anywhere else so I guess I'll have to look around for another brand.

I just bought some Memorex CD-R's about a month back at Sam Goody. It was a clear cylinder 30 pack, but these disks are greenish in color. It could be that memorex switched their dye colors again or I got some older discs, I don't know. Maybe if you could find some of these discs somewhere they might work. Happy hunting! (hope they work, for I am ordering this same player tomorrow!)
