I have a Sony 626 6 disk CD player / stereo. I have cleaned the disk plaer multiple times, but it continues to skip. It is about 5 years old, is out of warrenty but otherwise works great! Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

hi there.
Use a lens cleaner to clean your CD player's lens properly. Unscrew the top cover of the player and locate the laser lens, which is located just adjacent to the central disc drive. ... If theCD player is still skipping after the lens has been cleaned, there is likely a hardware problem that needs to be solved.31 Mar 2015

Sounds like your cd player is dirty or the disk you are trying to play is scratched and not useable?

You can purchase a cd disk cleaner at any department store or office supply. All you do is play the disk and follow the instructions. Some come with a mix of alcohol & water and have small brushed on the disk itself to place the liquid and this helps clean out your equipment. Others clean without liquid.

Check the disk itself for scratches and try wiping it off with a lint free towel. After cleaning your cd player, try playing it again and if it still skips - replace the cd. If a brand new disck skips in your disk player after cleaning it then your lazer might need repair and I would recommend taking it in to a local stereo installation and/or repair shop.

Good luck!

More than likely with a cd player that is as old as this one is the laser may have gone bad. If you can find a replacement laser component it can be replaced. Or it could be as simple as getting a cd player cleaning disc from just about any store and cleaning it.

unfortunately if your disc is clean and scratch free your laser will be weak and need replacing,, on that model cleaning the laser is a waste of time and money as its a sealed cabinet --check for flaws on your disc itself

your fuse is about to break.

You have done well for 10 years laser changes are in order

When a cd skips it is due to laser diode becoming weak over time not producing an original beam causing focus prolbems ,hence skipping discs

my rca 5 cd changer skips on all cd's?

It sounds as if you've covered about as much as you can do without pulling it out and taking to the repair shop. Something you should definitely do if all this skipping is taking place whilst the car is stationary. A lot of earlier car CD players wouldn't accept the burn it yourself type disks and perhaps the factory CD was damaged. Try a few more factory CDs before you do anything else. Just because a disk plays on the Computer or cd Player in the house doesn't mean it will behave itself in the car. If you've has the unit for a while you could have the smear of grease they put on the worm drive gummed up with dust and this is stopping the disk carriage from moving freely. Or perhaps the heads are out of alignment due to constant vibration from rough roads. Either of these problems would mean a removal and either a clean or the repair shop. BMW
