Yes, Silvertones gave a very good test. One difficulty is that a CDR is harder to read than a pressed CD/DVD, so a marginal CD/DVD player might fail on that when it might read a pressed CD.

There is always the possibility the drive is defective. As GHinCH suggests, first try some other commercially produced CDs or DVDs and make sure they work.
