    Try a soft (eg camel hair) brush on the laser lens - might just be a bit of muck / dust.

    That worked for a CD Walkman type device of a friend of mine with similar problems.

    Hi Jerry

    Thank you its a weird one maybe its a worn disc that i have had for many years but plays on other CD players fine - The Classik maybe is sensitive but it has played a couple of albums fine this afternoon - OMD & Emily Barker without fault but worth looking into your suggestion and many thanks..

    Cheers

    Cleaning might clear the problem, but don't use a cleaning cd as some of them will wreck the optics and they don't work in any case.

    You can use bare wire, it will do the same job. But it will oxidise over time and need stripping back.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
