Thanks to everyone, I guess that I should have added on the first post, I can make "CD's" that play in my Saturn Vue, they also play on our CD/ DVD player in the bedroom and they play on my G4 tower, on my wife's Lampshade G4 iMac (10.5) and on my 1 year old Snow Leopard Macbook intel, so those that have concluded that I've used DVD disk I can assure you that I've picked up the correct stack of platers, The CD -R are made by CompUSA, and are 700MB single layer units. My DVD's are made by HP and are also single layer DVD +R inkjet-Printable so there's no mistaking the two.
As far as replacing the Toshiba SD-6109C, the unit is an integrated CD/ DVD player and amplifier and is the central piece of all items in our home system. The cost of replacing this unit would be in the neighborhood of about $500 so I can probably burn through a lot of CD's before it will be cost effective to replace the Toshiba. If I had the room I guess that I could get a small unit and plug it into the Toshiba but I'm not sure if there are any inputs not used on the Toshiba. I guess that I should add that I've been working on and with computers for about 40 years. Thanks for everyones help, perhaps I'll try using the iTunes application again. This time I'll see if I can make it burn at a slower speed. Maybe I'll try burning on the G4 iMac Lampshade, Oh I forgot to mention that I've tried using iTunes with the G4 running Leopard 10.5 and iTunes on my Macbook running Snow Leopard 10.6 and none of the CD's will play on the Toshiba.
