I have an ENtronics DVD±RW Dual Layer burner and most of my burned CDs play fine in my H2. Just make sure your burner is capable of writing and re-writing DVD-RW DL and DVD+RW DL.

It may be your burner. The burner in my wife's laptop has issues and those discs skip in both our cars.

I've used both with no problems. My biggest problem is being careful storing them. I normally just throw them in the console and they get scratched.

Cd-RW discs are rewritable/erasable and in my experience they do not perform as well as Cd-R, especially after many erase/rewrite cycles. They are also more expensive and it doesn't make sense to use them for music.

If your disks are skipping during playback, try burning them at a slower speed. Burning at 48X and higher will produce more errors, especially with poor quality media.

I ended up burning mine at a slower speed and they work fine now. My 05' stock system never played a burned disk for 2 years until I asked this same question in off topic. Thanks to COHummer, I got it working in no time.

are you using a cd-r disc or cd-rw, and what brand and size is it. also does anyone know if using a cleaning disc is safe?

I only seem to have problems when using CD-RW, they skip and sometimes just stop playing altogether.

Never had a problem with a CD-R. They burn faster too.

I think I'm using the CD-R Sony. See, I'm not much of a techno geek. I was having trouble getting a disk to play in my daughters Strawberry Shortcake CD player. When I tried it in the H2 it didn't work either. I had to burn the disk at 4x speed. When I found out that worked, I didn't try burning it at any faster speeds because it sounds fine to us.

When they weren't playing correctly, they sounded like they were scratched.

As said buring at slower speeds can make the disc work. I had this trouble a while ago and after burning at the slower speeds I never had a problem again.

I think using the cleaning disk from time to time (every couple of months) and writing them at low speed is the best deal
