how can i tweak my Sony Cd Walkman With G-Protection and an Fm/Am Radio, model # D-FJ61,
to play Cd-Rw's it was manufactered July 2000.
Thanks to any1 who can help!!
 
I don't believe it'll play CDR-Ws. Most CD players won't. If you have a burner, use CD-Rs.
 
?????????????

I read on another forum that this persons friend tweaked it and he asked how to do it and the other people told him to go ask his friend!
 
You'll get more joy contacting Sony than here. Received wisdom says CDRWs won't play on standard CD players. Betcha can't do it, though. Do be so kind as to return with a reliably informed answer when you get one, though. :)
 
Many players CANNOT read CD-RW because of the laser pickup. Reading CD-RWs requires double the energy due to the much lower pit differentation that allows the RW capability in the first place. Tweaking - in this case really means replacing the laser pickup - no small feat... probably cheaper to just buy a unit that WILL read CD-RW........

I have two Sony CD players that DO read CDRW's. Here's the Model #'s....

CDP-CE235 (5-disc changer)
CDP-CE265 (5-disc changer)

The CDP-CE235 is a newer unit that has a digital-optical output. That comes in pretty handy if you want to make copies of the RW disc. It costs around $120.
Pretty cheap for such a useful tool.
 
Buck: did you have to tweak anything, or does it just read CDRWs straightaway? Second question: damn, what do you use two 5-disc players for, anyway? :D
 
I've got a Sony that holds 200 CD's and also has an optical output,the CX-225.and it will play CD-RW's as well.I'm pretty sure all the newer Sony's will.

Not necessarily -- you really need to try it to find out... The first Sony DVD players used to read CD-R and CD-RW, now they don't anymore (not sure why - according to the Sony Store salesguy -- he seems to think they have a policy against copying issues with the CD-RW format, but who knows.) Hitachi makes DVD players that read all 4 formats (DVD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW) -- you may want to look into those units too.

dobro...
No tweaking involved. If the disc is finalized, it will play, no problem.
Why do I have two CD players?
Well, actually I have more than that.
I've got a stereo system that could drowned-out a Who concert.
I'll need a hearing-aid before I'm forty.... oh well! :D
