Questions and Answers
• I have problems with a Phillips CDD-2000 unit.
If you have a real Phillips drive or a drive that contains this Phillips mech-
anism, you must make sure that the firmware version is 1.25 or later. A
firmware update can be found at http://www.philips.com/sv/pcaddon.
• I have other problems writing a CD and/or importing CD audio tracks.
Well of course there could be many reasons for this. Check the “Day to
day precautions for trouble free CD writing” section below. But, here are
two more things to try:
Open the Control Panel, and double click on System. Select the Device
Manager tab, select CD-R in the list (if this entry exists, which is not man-
datory) and click on the Properties button and then select Settings. Dis-
able the “Insert auto notification” to prevent Windows from reading from
the CD-R during the writing process.
If you have problems at higher speeds, try lowering it. Even if your system
writes correctly at 8x most of the time, it's safer to write at lower speeds.
• I have problems writing CDs when I specify ISRC and EAN/UPS codes, but oth-
erwise things work fine.
If you try to write a ISRC code or EAN/UPC code, WaveLab might return
an error if: a) the CD recorder does not support this (not all do, or not all
firmware versions do). b) the codes are not properly formatted: UPC/
EAN: 13 numeric characters. ISRC: 5 alphanumeric followed by 7 nu-
meric characters.
• A CD disc that I have created doesn't play correctly on my CD player.
The reflections of a “normal” CD and a CD-R are different (a CD-R re-
flects less light). A dirty lens on the CD player might disturb playback.
This is more common on old CD players because their lasers do not prop-
erly calibrate for recordable CDs. Sometimes, the combination of disc
brand and CD recorder brand can make a difference.
• I can't write track Sub-Indexes.
Some CD recorders are simply not capable of this. Some others can only
write 50 Sub-Indexes per track for example, and some others only 100
Sub-Indexes per CD. This depends on the CD-R firmware.
