japanese CD player
 
Does anyone know if in japan their CDs are a different format to ours, like a PAL thing?

I have a japanese CD player in my car which was fitted well before it was imported. It doesnt play CDs, when i load one it gives me a message in japanese and stays silent. Im gonna change it at somepoint, but in the mean time it would be nice to be able to play CDs.

CD's are CD's mate. I have a Japaneese CD player (Sony disk man) my old man bought me from Tokyo years back and it plays CD's fine, even CDR's. It was designed for in car use with a mount plate, so I can't see why yours wouldn't unless it is saying "no disk" ie your lens or motor are sh*gged. do you have a Japaneese mate who can translate ;-) seriously though, I imagine it's an error message due to a fault somewhere.

Not necessarily.

Could be a "Super Audio CD", a format that never really took off. However you know how the Japanese are at being early adopters of new technology.

See here for info.

Do you have a model number for the player?

True, but SACD players are backwardly compatible with standard CDs too. Unless you try and play an SACD in a standard non-SACD player it shoudln't cause an issue.
