When I put the CD in to record a cd I recorded, it is coming up, no disk

are you sure the drive is a read-writer? some optical drives are read only. If its not a writer and you put a blank in, that is what it would do.

If you put a real and recorded disk in(not a copy) and it says unknown disk, the eye is dirty. Cleaning the drive will be the next step.

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

A common probllem with stand-alone CD recordders is that one MUST do a "finalize" operation before the disk will play on most CD players.

u mabe inserting the wrong disc all phillips cd recorders uses cd-r or cd-rw that says digital audio.

look for a small hole near the front of the cd drawer, use a pen to push the small button inside, and the disk should come out. some cd recorders don't have the button, but they are inside, you need to open the case to get at it and the push it to eject the cd/dvd one other thing you might try, is to unplug the unit from the wall (power) and then plug it back in, when it first powers up, push the eject button and it may come out then

when you buy cdr's to use with the recorder be sure to go and buy "cdr audio". You may have problems with certain brands. It really is hit or miss but Sony discs should be fine with this player but try to get a small number of cheaper disks and try to see what works well.

There is a small chance that one brand may sound better(or some people say) but I have never had one problem like this from one to another.

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.

Start by reloading the CD drivers

You need CDR Music. CDR Data will not work in a consumer CD recorder. Professional CD recorders do not have this media limitation.
