I have a Sony DVD player the DVP650D and it will not play recordable CD'S. After reading the manual I found that this is normal. Does anyone know any way of changing this and why did Sony do this?!!!

It has to do with laser wavelengths. On Sony's previous models they used two lasers, one for DVDs and another for CD/CDRs. The new DVD players use a single laser that can read DVD/CD/CDRWs.

I have a 850D and yes, it will not play CDR's. However, you can pop in a CDRW and it will work. I don't quite understand why they stop using twin-laser if twin will read more disc formats. Could it be the fact that one laser is cheaper than twin?

One laser certainly is cheaper than two. However it's a trade-off -- the two-laser version can't read CDRWs.
