    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Colin (DP Motorsport)" <colin@dp-motorsport.co.uk> Just a thought, you could get a DVD changer and write all your songs to DVD to get the good quality sound as well as the high capacity. Will more than likely have an optical out too.

I did hear a few people saying that theirs gave them probs with CD-Rs but it is probably their "unluckiness" in that their changer's pickup doesn't do to well with CD-R (probably because of age, dirty lens, etc.).

I've found that my Teac seems to make really good CD-R recordings... But my friends's JVC 2x does not. *shrug* A decent quality burner should do the trick...

    Subject: XT-100DAB question
    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Paul Chambers" <xdp4000x-list@lists.bod.org> Yes, the quality and feature set of the CD-RW drive definitely matters - features like Optical Power Control definitely make a difference. I've also found which brand/type of media matters a great deal too (and for some media, the speed you burn it at). My experience has been that most CD players will play at least one brand/type of CD-R media burned at 4x or 8x, but not always the same brand/type :-) Not wishing to contradict Roland, but my experience has been that CD-R compatibility across CD players is generally good, but can't be assumed. I've generally enjoyed better compatibility with the brand-name media (TDK and Maxell) than the no-name discs. The no-name discs also seem to fare worse at higher burn speeds, so a cheap disc burned at 4x tends to be more compatible than one burned at 16x. For example, I have found some cheap silver/blue 'GQ' brand CD-Rs will not even be recognized in my Sony changer, and skip badly in the C90, but the couple of Maxel 'Black' CD-Rs I've tried work very well. On the burner front, I've had good results in the past from a TDK CD-RW drive (which are rumored to be OEM'd from Plexor, who have an excellent reputation). These days I'm using either a Lite-On LTR 48246S drive (48x/24x/48x), or one of the Ridata 2nd generation DVD+R/RW drives (which are also excellent CD-RW drives) to burn discs. A good source for CD-ROM benchmarks is www.cdspeed2000.com which also has DAE (digital audio extraction) benchmarks - very handy ;-) Paul > --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Daniel Botelho > <dbotel6500@rogers.com> > > Hey roland, > > I had issues reading CD-R's made on other earlier made burners. > > I've found that my Teac seems to make really good CD-R recordings... > But my friends's JVC 2x does not. *shrug* > > A decent quality burner should do the trick... > > D > > Roland M wrote: > > >--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Roland M" <mdx400@hotmail.com> > >>--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: NOTGSXR@aol.com > >> > >>In a message dated 3/27/03 11:24:15 PM Eastern Standard Time, > >>mdx400@hotmail.com writes: > >> > >> > >> > >>> However I've heard the CDX-91 is picky with some CD-Rs and > >>> if it is older it might not be able to play them well from > >>> a weakened laser (which would still likely read reguar CDs > >>> no doubt). > >>> > >> I havn't yet had a problem with my CDX-91 and CDR's.....

    --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Daniel Botelho <dbotel6500@rogers.com> In general, yes, You *could* get away with running the RCA's alone, but it would sound much better to running the optical cable, not to mention more cleaner sounding. The reason you cannot run the optical cable alone, is because it is only sending out CD audio thru the optical cable. The AM/FM is transmitted on the RCA cabling. So yes, run BOTH cables thru the system. :-) Daniel Sqxpert@aol.com wrote: >--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: Sqxpert@aol.com > >just wondering a yes or no > >when i run optical do i have to run rca cables too? > >thanks > >tim koehle >sylvania ohio > >p.s. have had some discussion about this before , but never got a straight >answer! > >thanks again! > >tk > > > >
