My 2001 Odyssey has the single disc CD player in the dash. The player has no problem playing retail CDs, but it struggles with CDs that I have burned myself. It will often take a couple minutes to find the starting point and begin playing. Once there it is usually OK, but if you skip a track, be prepared to wait sometimes 30 minutes for it to figure out where the skipped-to track is and latch on to it.
It seems at its worst when it is playing a live album (such as a bootleg recording) - I don't know if the audience noise somehow messes with its ability to locate the beginning of a track.
I have used gold, silver and other-colored CDs and they all have problems.
Does anyone think this could be perhaps an artifact of the speed at which I burn these - that the Honda player would prefer something burned at 1x or 2x (instead of 8x or 16x)? Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks, Be
