I've just got a 1997 V70 with the big radio, tape and CD player in the dash. I tried
       recording my own CDs, initially without success. I was using a good Samsung brand of
       CD which I've used a lot for my photographs. I tried these CDs twice and both got
       ejected. Then a mate gave me one of his compilations that he'd burnt onto a Kodak
       Optima Gold brand of CD. This worked fine.  I had some other Kodak Gold CDs that
       I'd used before for my photographs so I re-burnt my compilation onto one of my Kodak
       Golds. Hey Presto!!  we have ignition. The Kodak has played fine all weekend. So be
       careful which brand of CD you use. Chris McBrien (Scotland)

     Thanks for the good advice/contribution. I will add it to the audio information ASAP,
     within the next couple of days.
     Cheers

     PS Hardware can also be burn-software sensitive too. My mp3-playing home hi-fi dvd
     unit will accept "Easy CD" project mp3 CDs anytime but won't handle "direct-CD"
     method burned CDs. God knows why, must be something to do with the way the CD
     directories are encoded to disc...???

Mike,
        I wrote a week or so back saying that I'd had success recording my own CDs but using the
Kodak Ultima CDs.  I came across another quite minor problem in that when I recorded a full 80
minute CD the very last track started to jump and miss. I was using the Roxio/Adaptec CD Project
software that allows you to compile your tracks and also shows the amount of space remaining for
both 74 minute and 80 minute CDs.  I've just compiled another CD but just filled it to the 74 minute
level. I'll try this on the way home tonight and get back with you tomorrow.

Chris.

Regards Chris.
