I burned some audio CDs, but these CDs could be played on the
DVD player(sony DVP530P), in stead they can be played on my
CD player. Is anybody has any idea of whti's going on on my DVD player.
Thanks.

I think Fish (below) is a bit off the mark. It may work out like copy protection, and it may be part of the manufacturers (esp. Sony, they sell a lot of CD's!) grand sceme, but what it boils down to I think, is that the laser required to read CD-R discs is a different color (frequency) than the one that reads CD's. So, a company saves $3 by only giving you one laser- bingo, you cant play CD-R's.
MY friends Sony DVD player will not play CD-R's either. Some brands will.

  I tried to put some thought into this before responding so here 'goes.
  I think your colored laser comment is, althought thought provoking, way off the mark. If the laser for the DVD needs to be a different color, then how can it play audio cd's at all?
  My Yamaha plays: standard, consumer purchased, pre-recorded cd's AND computer OR stand alone 'burnt' cd formats but does not have the decoding ability to understand the compression format of MP3's.
  My Sony AND 2 DIFFERENT GENERATION Panasonic DVD players DO play Consumer level pre-recorded CD audio format as well as DVD's but REFUSE to recognize audio in any type of 'burnt' format.
  So therefoer we BOTH do acknowledge that SOME DVD players will play 'burnt' audio as well as DVD AND standard pre-recorded stuff. If the laser therory WERE true than the clolred laser issue would NOT allow the DVD player to play any audio at all.
  IE: IT'S SOFTWARE NOT HARDWARE! And I can't forsee why any manufacturer would not include this 'software' as commonplace unless forced by "regulation or monetary lincesing" issues.
  Sorry but I just DON'T buy into that theory, diferent colored laser or not!

    First, for the sake of clarity let me call the two lasers red (for pre-recorded) and blue (for CD-R). I am not sure if these colors are right, etc...
    
    You say
    "So therefoer we BOTH do acknowledge that SOME DVD players will play 'burnt' audio as well as DVD AND standard pre-recorded stuff."
    You are correct- for these players are equipped with both lasers (blue & red). I am not sure if one of these is also used fro the DVD, or if that is a third, but I would stronly think that the one that works for pre-recorded CD's is the DVD one.
    You also say
    "My Sony AND 2 DIFFERENT GENERATION Panasonic DVD players DO play Consumer level pre-recorded CD audio format as well as DVD's but REFUSE to recognize audio in any type of 'burnt' format."
    Correct again, and makes sense. These players have the one "red" laser that picks up pre-recorded CD's (and potentially DVD's too) but DO NOT have the second blue laser for reading CD-R's.
    A player can have MULTIPLE LASERS. It recognises the disc and uses the appropriate one.

First off, this reply is written supposing that you meant that your DVD player WON'T play the burnt audio & that's why you using your CD player instead. If that's the case here's my opinion.
It's been engineered into these units NOT to play 'burnt' audio, or so it seems. It does not matter if you use a 'stand alone' recorder with Digital Audio CDR's OR burn them on your computer with the cheap CDR's.
I'm pretty sure that they are forced (by some regulation) not to play this type of CD for copyright enfringement reasons. Assume, that they are forced assume that you (we) are bootlegging!
Some of the less expensive DVD player manufacturers, such as APEX, ETC. boast that they'll play the Burnt stuff AND burnt MP3's. I do not own one of these types because my Yamaha CD player plays burnt audio fine & I have found no reason (other that for sh:ts & giggles) to play them elsewhere.
I've heard that there are some sites that tell you how to hack around this issue. If you find some, please email them to me, I'd love to read up, but have not activley persued the subject.
Hope this helps & remember, it's just one persons opinion.

  These systems haven't been 'engineered' not to play MP3s, 'burnt' music, etc. This is up to the manufacturer to give their machines the 'power' to read CD-Rs and different formats. Software does factor into this as you said. The machine must have the codecs to interpret the format on the CD, DVD, etc. Some machines will play DVD/VCD/Music CDs/MP3/SVCDs.....get the picture. But, it must have the correct software and Hardware..ie the right type of laser...or it just won't work. My JVC DVD player will play my 'burnt' music, factory music, DVDs, and VCDs that I make myself. BTW, VCD stands for Video CD..an MPEG-1 file converted into a format that a stand alone DVD player can read and interpret. There is no "Law" that I know of that prohibits companies from allowing their systems to read this stuff. That's why the DVD disc is protected in most cases. You just can't copy it and sell it.
