CD skips when being played especially loud. And it's not just a CD. Almost every audio CD played the last time skipped. This is the first. Could something be dirty and needs cleaning?
Re: CD skips when being played especially loud. And it's...
Yes! (the lens or disc) or it could be a power spike if it's only when played loud. try using an anti surge plug. How old is the system? you may have a capicitor breaking down.

The laser assembly moves from the inside of the disk to the outside as it plays. You can try to clean the rails that the assembly moves on. If there is something stuck to it, it can cause the laser to have a hard time moving and cause skipping. try cleaning with cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.
It's having trouble reading the CDs. The thing that reads it could be dirty. But try a different cd. The CD player is getting old and if there is even a small scratch it will be hard to read it. A new CD player would be the way to go
Could be some dust or debris in the unit. Also be careful that you are not putting fingermarks near the hole section of each CD you put in, as the CD plays from the centre out.
The skipping problem you are experiencing may be related to the shaft that the laser assy rides on. It may need a little greasing with silicon grease, just a litte bit. Or it could be the spindle motor is wobbling as it turns. If you are a little tech savy, then you can order a new CD drive assy through Ebay and swap it out when it arrives. If you get this far you need to know how to remove the solder short on the new assy otherwise the new drive will not work.
I understand what you are saying. The Durabrand is very cheaply made and the ani-skip actually does not work near as long as stated by company. I would buy more expensive player or a different brand. Look for 60 Second Anti-Skip if you want a good one.
all the rca's have been released without quality control... you will have to open and adjust the potentiometers (the adjustible resistors on the main board) to re-calibrate the laser timings. However the way that the boards are mounted inside the boombox's chassis you will need to take apart everything to be able to reach the main board (inside vertical right side board with large heatsink and fan) without causing a short (as to be able to properly adjust these you need to have a cd playing and the whole thing needs to be upright.
I would recommend throwing it all way, not worth the time if you don't have the patience.
