Sony CDP CX 235 200 cd changer-cd's dropping off

Have Sony cdp cx235 200 disc cd changer...purchased used and was trying it out before loading and entering menu data for all 200 cds. Plays excellant, but cd's fall off in random places. Thought it might play better with less, so loaded 4 and all 4 fell off...in 4 different places! Will it work better if I have it fully loaded so it is balanced? I'd hate to take a chance on ruining 200 of my favorite cds if they decide to all pile off.

Hi there.

I reckon that they are not being put back correctly by the loading mechanism! This is a common problem with these units. It is highly unlikely that they are actually falling off the carousel.

Open the unit, and watch it as it loads and replaces the cd's from the carousel. You will probably find that instead of grabbing the disc off of the spindle and putting it back, it might be grabbing before the cd is even in its grip. This then simply bumps the cd out of the way, and it will fall inside of the unit.

The good news is that it can be fixed with a bit of very gentle bending and persuading. But be very carefull when doing this!

Good Luck!

How do you change the laser in a Sony CDP cx- 220

You take it to a Sony Service Centre. They are dangerous to work on, and Sony 'do things their own way'.

Did you try cleaning the laser optics with a cleaning disc?

Music jumps and skips

The laser beam may be "seeing" through dust, try compressed air in a can. Buy at computer stores. Make sure all discs are clean, wipe only in straight lines from center outward....

I have a sony CDP-CX235 200 disc CD player? If I want to create my own cd with music, any idea what type of disc and file formats I need to use?

First, I'd get a CD recorder. This machine is only a player.

Consumer CD Recorders will require CD-R Audio or CD-R Music blank media to record.

Music speeds up,skips pulsating noise

Ok, this is optical lens assembly failure. the lens assembly is a whole device that runs on a rail with rail motor. the spin motor is also attached to this Assembly as well. the entire assembly will need to be replace due to the damage that has occurred.

Replacing the optical lens assembly will fix all the issues you stated.
