Can the Sony S7700 play CDRs ?

Hi,
I have a 7700 and it plays cdrs fine.

Mike

I have the Sony DVP-S7700, too. I've played CDRs many times and it works well. Sorry, I don't want to sell now - I want to get a MF Trivista 21 DAC and use the Sony as a transport and for DVDs. The 7700 has dual laser pickups, 1 for DVDs and 1 for CDs, which is good but not common.

Anybody know if the 7700 plays DVD-Rs? I know the 7000 won't.

7700 will play MOST CD-R's, not DVD-R's. Makes a great transport.

My 7700 in stock form does have some navigational problems with CD-R's but I pretty much NOW know why. I don't burn CD-R's on my computer but on burners integrated into my audio system. It will play but struggles with CD-R's burned on my (now in storage; it has issues) Pioneer Elite PDR-99 Player/Recorder. It appears to be fine with CD-R's (haven't listened to many) burned on my Tascam CD-RW 402 Pro Dual Player/Recorder. The brand of CD-R does not seem to matter. Hope this helps! Kevin

Mine plays CD-R's fine too(PC burned).Audio performance is OK at best,it doesn't hold a candle next to either of my two dedicated transports(Krell,Northstar)
Cheers

It is fairly common to have problems with some CD-R's. The writers do not always burn good pits in them, so only the most sensitive drives will read them.
