Yamaha cdr s1000 Not Audio

hi, i would try not using cdr discs. alot of older decks had issues reading "r"discs try cd'made for music not data. that should fix u up.

you probably have regular cd-r disks that cannot be recorded on in this unit. You can only use disks marked "DIGITAL AUDIO" for recording

Sounds like the burning part of the laser has met it's useful lifespan...time to get another drive.

it plays with no problem : CDR,CDRW,DVD+/-R,DVD+/-RW,Audio mpe 3,Compact Disk Audio(CDDA),Video Compact Disk(VCD),DVD Audio,Dolby digital track,JPEG pictures

Hi,
it sounds to me like you are using a blank CDR/CDRW that you would use in a computer rather than a CDR Audio. The two types of discs are different and although you can use either in a PC to record on, on these "Home Burners", they will only record on the other type.
Try it .....

Do as it asks, insert blank CD-Audio or CD-Music media.

Discs for recording
For recording, make sure to use special audio discs only.
These discs are marked with “Digital Audio” and the logos shown below.
There are two different types of audio discs for the use on this CD recorder:
– CD-Audio Recordable (CDR) discs
These discs can be recorded on once and
play in all standard CD players and CD
recorders, when they are finalized.
– CD-Audio ReWritable (CDRW) discs
These discs can be recorded on, erased and
re-recorded many times and play in CDRW
compatible CD players and CD recorders,
when they are finalized.
– All Philips CD players and CD recorders
with the sticker shown here are CDRW
compatible.
To ensure proper working of the set we recommend the use of Philips audio CDR and audio CDRW discs only.
Note: Do not use a computer CDR or CDRW as recording will not work!

Go here and download the manual. You'll need it.

Listen to it. Go out and buy "CD-R for AUDIO" or "CD-Music" blank CD's and it will cooperate. Home CD recorders are designed to reject data CD-R media for recording.

Hello,
I have this unit as well and the disc MUST say CDR Music on them.
Normal CDrs will play,but not record.

Hi Rick

The unit has stopped reading discs. I suggest taking the lid off and cleaning the laser lens with a cotton bud with a little Windex , then give it a gentle polish to be sure no residue smearing is left. If that does not fix it, check to see what actually happens when you load a disc. Does the transport fully engage and clamp the disc correct into the chucking assembly. Let me know how you got on:)

Graeme
