cant play scvds

I have a sony dav-s300 av system...but it wont read recorded music cds or scvds ..just saz no cd in player.....i think it was made that way. But was wondering if there is a code or something i could enter to get it to read recorded music cd and dvds...Greetz
 
Unfortunately Sony units are notorious for NOT playing burnt CDR's. Some units can playback if copied to CDRW (not CDR) so give them a try. Also, the ultra cheap (and crappy CDR's) of Princo manufacture can in many cases be rerad by Sony players. Try them.

There is also no secret code to enter in for a Sony unit.

Check out the DVD Player list at _www.vcdhelp.com for your unit but there is also a lot of misleading and inaccurate data there.
 
i have a sony davs 500 and had the same problem but you can convert a svcd to vcd by doing the following
How to cheat and convert svcd to vcd quickly (20 mins instead of 3.5hrs


you'll lose a lot of quality re-incoding but we're not gonna re-encode we're simply gonna fool the player into thinking its playing a Vcd and not an Svcd takes around 15-20 minutes tops

You'll need TMPGenc though!

Follow these steps and I guarantee you'll be watching Svcd in the correct format on your Vcd only player

1. Open TMPGEnc and goto FILE>MPEG TOOLS and click on the
Simple Multiplex tab.

2. Click Browse for video input and select your movie.

3. Be sure that the type is MPEG-1 Video-CD (you select this at the top all your doing is changing the header from mpeg2 to mpeg1 not the file ;0)

4. Select you output file.

5. Click Run. This will take 5-10min maybe more depending on video size
and speed of your computer.

6. Now just burn to CD useing Nero or any other burning tool that will burn VCD's

Note: After doing this if you try to play the mpeg on your computer chances are
you will just get is a blocky green screen. Do not worry, this is normal but it will still
play fine in your DVD player

You'll find the correct app under Tools in TMPGenc!

This makes a kind of xvcd which will not play on many dvd standalones.
Also the chances are, snipekillers player will not play a compliant vcd on a cdr either as its a cdr problem. Being unable to play an audio cdr is the dead giveaway.
Get the audio cdrs to be recognised by trying Chickenmans advice first before u worry about the (s)vcd.
Then give cocker92's advice a go.
