Sony 9000ES DVD owners, Help me Please

It's not suppose to play cd'rs but as tim says, it does eveything else so good. You have just got to buy this player, it's got to be the best bang for the buck out there. And of course it looks so cooooool and you would also have the best looking one out there. Knowing sony they might have some upgrade in the future or something. You can't go wrong with this unit, look at the reviews in the march/april issue of the Perfect Vision . The marks on the comparison chart were the best...

The only brand of cdr's i've tried on my 9000ES are Sony cdr's, and for me, they work PERFECTLY. :) I love this unit, was using an MSB Link 3 w/upsampling but now I feel as if I don't even need it anymore because the redbook playback is pretty darn good after a couple hundred hours break-in.

I just tried a Fujifilm CD-R in mine. Works fine.

The 9000es will not play CD-Rs according to the manual,but it will play CD-RWs.
Even the chepest CD-RWs play on it.I never really tried the more expensive CD-Rs though.

I have only tried one CD-R on my Sony which didn't work, so...I posted this a few days ago in another thread. "I bought a $25 Sony portable CD player at their outlet, stuck it on top of three Vibrapods, got Radio Shacks' 1/8 to rca adapter,added some decent interconnects that were laying around, and wham!, CD-R for under $50. Now I can keep my Sony DVP-9000ES for a while. Try it, you might just like it. If not, you can always find some use for the portable". Now you guys have inspired me to try a few different brands, hope I get lucky as some of you did. Thanks for for the helpful info.
