It`s a hardware limitation - basically the laser pickup inside the 4000 is a "single wavelength" model and most CD-Rs aren`t reflective enough at this wavelength to work. You may be able to get *some* CD-Rs to work; Princo/VivaStar is usually a good bet.
Some DVD players have a "dual wavelength" pickup, which means they can play CD-R and CD-RW. If this is the case it will generally say "MultiRead" or "CD-R/CD-RW compatible" on the box.

DVD players which dont play CD-R`s will usually play RW though
