CD Player My brother has a cd player which is also an MP3 player. The problem is it wont play any cds. He doesnt burn cds so doesnt use the MP3 player. But when you turn it on it say CD and MP3 comes on flashing. It wont let me do anything and he lost the boolet it came with. Please help! Dont know the make - all it says on the front is proline... Dawn

There is no easy answer to this. I know that I have problems when I burn CDs in any format using my computers DVD burner. Fortunately I also have a regular CD burner which seems to do a much better job.
It may also be the CD player needs to be cleaned, seems that MP3 capable CD players are more sensitive when playing MP3 discs as opposed to regular CDs. There is really no other format that is widely supported (other than WMA) that will give you the capacity of a MP3.

Try Nero Buring Rom. Select audio cd and burn the music.
If you need further assistance please post.

Hello ly2004sxt,

You do not need a code to play CD's in a Panasonic CQ-C7301U. The player handles the standard CD format and also plays burned CD's in WMA or MP3 formats. However, burned CD's in WMA format that contain copyrighted music are not playable. In this case the display will show "PROTECTED".

Hope this helps.

well you can really just hook a USB cord into any cd player it has to come with one built into it already and if its not playing your burned cds then its probly of low quality or old. or it doesnt recognize the format that you are burning the cds with especially if your using windows media player to durn the cds some cd players dont read WMA files (windows media assotiated) files

you need to make sure you burn your cd,s in the right format, mp3 i think

if the burned CDs are of mp3 music your player won't play them.  I doesn't read mp3!  sorry

Hi,
it,s one of 2 things.
1:) your recording MP3 to CD. Only recognised on a PC, or MP3 Player. The standard CD Format Is WAV.
If you burn with Nero. you should have a tickbox Which Says ( Normalise all audio Files )
2:) the disk is not finalised. Closed having written the T.O.C Table-Of Contents. this is to allow the reader viewing it, what is actually written on the disk.

this happens all the time, instead of getting CD-Rs, try getting the CD-R Music, they are specially made to be played on CD players, I buy these all the time and they work in every CD player.

try to play a song from original cds.
maybe you brunt it in mp3 file, or its a different format. try to burn your song to cd-r.
if still, try to use nero to burner..
if it wont play your original cds and burnt cds,then the optical lens or the board is broken.
hope I helped you.

hi bobro, when burning the cds, make sure that you are burning it as an audio cd, as this player does not support mp3 formats, just normal audio cds... hope this helps!
