The short answer is no. You need a different laser (I'm not sure
of the details, more powerful or a different colour or a combination
of the two) to read "home-burned" CDs. Pretty well all modern
players will read all CDs, but older ones may have problems.

Some CD-Rs are better than others, so it might be worth experimenting
with different makes of blank. They have different colour dyes in them,
so some may be better on some players.

The re-writable CD-RW disks are even worse so don't use these unless you
know the recipient can handle them.
