Car CD Player Problem with Burned CDs
Need some help here friends! Brand new Nissan Murano (my daughter's) with a 6 disc CD player. She loaded CDs that she had burned into the CD player and it would not play them. But even more disturbing, the CD player does not even recognize that there are CDs loaded into those slots and will not eject them! These CDs worked fine on other players and in her previous car, a 2004 Murano.
The dealer says they don't do any work on the entertainment systems, they just swap them out. I believe that he mentioned that they were made by Clarion.
So what's the issue here and how can we eject these CDs?

Except it plays a regular CD without a problem and ejects it without a problem. I have had some instances where a burned CD didn't play in a car, but never one where the CD wasn't even recognized byt the CD player to eject.

yea the fact that it wont eject it what concerns me. even if it is not compatible, it should at least let you eject it. Just curious, is this a mp3 cd, or was the cd burned as an actual audio cd. Mp3 cds only play in cd players that can read them. the cd player would usually say mp3 on it. But either way, it should still eject it. which is why i say there is something wrong with the unit.

Very likely those are mp3s and it's a CD player that CANNOT read mp3s. I do nto have a probem playing burnt CDs in my Honda Odyssey, however burnt DVDs will not play in its DVD player. Probably because it just does not recognize the format. I cant' rememberr, but I think it just displays error after about a minute or so of trying to read it.

As a magazine editor, I've received burned music CD prereleases for reviewing. More often than not, they would not play in my Chrysler van's player, or be recognized. And once I couldn't get one to eject but was able to pull it out with long tweezers. I've never figured out why the music CDs won't play when burned conference CDs will. Go figure.

FWIW, the owner's manual for my '02 Infiniti (Nissan's upmarket brand) states outright that burned CDs are not supported in the 6-CD changer. The changer is branded Bose, but manufactured by Clarion.
Being adventurous, I have tried burned CDs in it and found they worked OK. My Clarion changer is far too sensitive to road vibration with any CDs, so I rarely use it.

The underlying substrate for home-burned CDs is different from professionally-made CDs. In hhe mass-manufactured CDs the pits and flats are more "substantial" than in those made at home. I don't know the specifics of the home CDs, just that they are harder for some lasers to read because of the technology.
Cheers.

From http://webplus.dvd-regrabable.org/Article27.phtml#Q4
Q4: What could happen if I accidentally load a blank "high-speed" disc in my Pioneer DVD-R/RW Recorder / Writer drive prior to updating it, and what should I do in such case?
A4: Pioneer DVR-7000 DVD-R/RW Recorders: after inserting a blank "high-speed" disc, in some cases the Recorder might stop responding to all operation commands with the disc loaded inside the tray. In case of such a suspicious hang-up, it is important to disconnect the unit from the power outlet as soon as possible.
After waiting a few moments, plug in the power cable again, switch on the power of the Recorder, and immediately push the "open/close" button. The tray will now open and the disc can be removed.
Please note that when the DVR-7000 is left for a certain period of time in this "hang-up" status, the "pickup" part may be damaged and become unable to read or write discs. In addition there is a possibility that the inserted disc will then be damaged.
