Unhappy MP3 headunit keeps jumping

Tried making up CD's from 128 bit rate to 320 but seems to make no difference.


Its a single cd headunit kenwood W7027. When playing a track it pauses, increments the track number, then plays for another 10 seconds, pauses and does it again repetitively.

Is there something wrong with the CD's, or the headunit - its only 2 months old from Halfords. Plays normal CD's no problem - just doesnt like MP3's or WMA for some reason??

Doing my head in.

What CDs are you using; CDR or CDRW? CDR should be better, maybe using brand-name disks. Also, have you tried burning at the slowest rate you can?

Agree with ru', try a brand name CDR (TDK, Sony etc) and record at the slowest speed your recorder will allow and if it still jumps then i think there is something wrong with the headunit

Which, being only 2 months old, should be replaced by Halfrauds no worries (apart from having to remove/re-fit the damn thing!)

Hi Guys - cheers for the response.

I used memorex CDR's. My CD burner is a top of the range one fitted to Dell 8400 - so it really should be pretty good. I'll take your advice and slow the beast down and see if it makes a difference

Halfords should be ok with a return - worst case scenario. Getting it out is pretty easy.

Thanks,
Marky

Are you sure it's not in "preview" mode or something i.e. where it plays the first bit of a track and then moves to the mext unless you press a button.

No definately not in preview mode - it can play a few songs before it starts - or can do it straight away.

Tried a slower burned CD and still the same - so next stop Halfords for their thoughts.

cheers guys,
