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.
