Most likely the model of your stereo is Delco CDR500. This will be written on front face of radio. If I am correct then the laser which reads the cd is faulty and needs to be replaced. This can also apply to stereo model VDO 500 .

The older generation of stereo fitted to Opels seem to burn out their lasers very easily when using CD-R media. It's recommended to only use genuine retail disks.
