the cdr on the 4k

i had my 4k for all most 2 years now and my cd player is starting to act up
when i put a cd in, it hesitates. I seen the 4k's in the stores with a diffirent cdr
so i'm hoping i could swop out my cdr for another one. Has any one had any similar problems or know the solution for my problem?

sometimes CD R players or recorders get old and tend to have problem reading discs, this is pretty common

only solution i know of, change the CD R drive, you can buy another one for $30 or, if I were you I would cop a CD R Writer for $50 or so.

Peace

Is it possible to burn files to a rewritable cd with the 4k?

yes it is,its done in the same way as a CD R,

save>F2:utility page>Do:memory to cd>F5 to erase CDRW (if needed)>f6 to save

thanx, thats what i'll do

CDROMS go out for 2 reasons mainly >

CD LASER burns out or there's a scratch on the LENS that will cause error or a SPINDLE MOTOR problem > which is the mechanism that manually turns the disc. slow load is typically a CD LASER losing it's life or a SPINDLE motor out of sync (causing read error resulting in time delay due to oversampling).

if the unit is making clicking noises on load up or the drawer shudders, it might be a SPINDLE MOTOR problem and opening the unit up to inspect for outside debris (carpet fuzz is the #1 enemy)

could solve your problem outright, especially if the unit has moved a lot.

if it's the laser, a new unit and buying the extended warranty if it lasts more than 3 years (average consumer grade laser life with musician usage IMO) would be the way to go.

most of the lasers are re-used, expensive parts that get the factory authorized treatment rather than hit the dumps. i know this cause when i worked at an authorized shop we had free reign on electrical parts when a unit was in for mechanical difficulty and resulted in replacement.

buyer beware!
