I have tried on a Sony DVD (model 550 I think it is), and it does NOT support CD-R discs, but it did work with one VCD I tried which was an ACER silver CD-R (very very faint blue tint on the surface). It seems the requirement is that the CD-R must be VERY reflective to work. Any of the darker blue or green, or any gold disc I have tried, did not work. I guess you either make sure to get some very reflective silver discs, or get a DVD player that explicitly handles generic media (a 2 laser model).
