Sony 9000ES DVD owners, Help me Please

I have similiar experience with my player NOT playing cd-r's oh well it does everything else sooooo good for the $$$ can't nit-pick about little details.

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.
