My NS300 is disabled to play CD-Rs. (Video and Audio)

Does anybody have a hack to enable this feature??

Greetings from Vienna,

The only hack would involve changing the laser unit and/or player.

Alternatively try a few different types of media - some CD-R types can be recognised by the laser (Princo and Thats Media are two that come to mind). It comes down to reflectivity and the wavelength of the laser used to read DVDs.

Hi,

the reading of CD-Rs is disabled by default. This is also specified in the manual of the NS-300.

So I need a hack or a firmware upgrade to remove this hardcoded s***.

Bye,
Michael

You DON`T need ANY hack to play CD-R`s in your sony. All you need is the right CD`s. Which are:

DataSafe Media CDs Branded 80mins

There URL is : http://www.datasafe-media.com I bought 100 of them from
http://www.cdrbymail.co.uk for £30 and the work 100%
