97 grand prix won't play burned (cd-rw, cd-r) burned disks?

Question

my grand prix will play any cd that i buy, but when i burn my own disks it says e23 or e20 and ejects the cd. I have cleaned the player and i just don't know what else to do?

Answer 1

most of the older stock systems will not play burnt cds because they are a different format  

Answer 2

it could be the file type or the recording speed, sometimes the name brand disc you use will make a difference
