After functioning perfectly for 3 years, my CD changer no longer will play certain burned CD's, mainly if I labeled them with Lightscribe! I get Error 02. Anybody ever hear of that? Any ideas?
Thanks.

i have had that problem before and it got real annoying till it messedup the deck in my past 06 eclipse.never found out why it did that it just did all the time.

thats because your deck itself has to be able to read certain disks. there are a few different kinds. first of all if its a CD-R its a recordable CD. it will read these just fine. if its a CD-RW its a re-writteable CD, meaning: you can record then erase then record. stock decks and most CD changers won't read these unless it is a part of a premium sound package like a infinity system or a bose system, and even then its not a certainty. also if you have a CD-R that has MP3 songs written on it your not gonna be able to read these that was the problem with my stock deck and i think i read error code 5 or something like that. the CD changer won't read MP3 files. definitely not a CD-RW with MP3 files on it. you can also have songs in file type of WAV the type your CD changer will read. so here it is: WAV File music on a CD-R good, anything else baaaaad, o.k.?

and your welcome.


p.s. i can't believe you ran a stereo 3 years without mixing cd-r's and cd-rw's or wav files and MP3 files. if this is not the reasoning then you need to have your laser eye replaced. which costs more than its worth so just buy a new deck.

Every CD that i've burnt using Lightscribe has worked fine. The lightscribe shouldn't affect the function of the CD (since it's just printing on the label side of the CD). I don't think the CD is causing the error.

Error 02 is described in the owner's manual (i don't have mine handy).

If you want a replacement stereo, check out Ebay, they always have used factory CD players. Or try a salvage yard, www.car-parts.com will find it for you.
