My 2001 Odyssey has the single disc CD player in the dash. The player has no
problem playing retail CDs, but it struggles with CDs that I have burned
myself. It will often take a couple minutes to find the starting point and
begin playing. Once there it is usually OK, but if you skip a track, be
prepared to wait sometimes 30 minutes for it to figure out where the
skipped-to track is and latch on to it.

It seems at its worst when it is playing a live album (such as a bootleg
recording) - I don't know if the audience noise somehow messes with its
ability to locate the beginning of a track.

I have used gold, silver and other-colored CDs and they all have problems.

Does anyone think this could be perhaps an artifact of the speed at which I
burn these - that the Honda player would prefer something burned at 1x or 2x
(instead of 8x or 16x)? Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,
Be
