Default Quirky CD Player (2000 TL)

I guess I should have looked into this years ago but I frequently find that compact discs will not play in my wife's 2000 TL. Most store-bought cd's are okay but there is the occasional one that will not play--the disc just spins for a while and then spits out.

I almost have never had any luck getting the player to play cd's that I burn on my computer.

Generally, if I try playing the problem cd in another car or another cd deck, there are no problems. It seems the only time I have had problems playing a cd is in the Acura. Are the Honda/Acura cd players much more sensitive than others?

Thanks,
Doug

Most factory radios up until not too long ago we're very picky about playing a burnt CD. So im not surprised about that. I'd go in the phonebook and find a place that will clean and realign everything inside the CD player.

I've tried various things with burning cd's--the highest quality blanks I can find, burning at the slowest speed, etc. Never had problems playing any of the burned cd's in other cars or players, only problems with the Acura. Moreover, as I posted, the Acura sometimes has problems even with store-bought albums.
