The laser lens is most probably dirty.
if you can see the little glass dome inside the CD player, try wiping it gently with a cotton bud soaked in a little Vodka or Gin (spirit) to clean the lens.
If a lens clean doesn't work - its time to choose a new up to date - all singing all dancing replacement model.

RCA RS2664 Stereo wont play CD in any of the trays but seems to try to scan to play.

Hello
The laser pickup unit's lens may be dirty or dusty. Just put a lens cleaning disc into the tray, and play it at least three times, by ejecting the disc each time, and reinsert in in to. The lens cleaning disc can be bought from most of the electronic spare part selling shops at your town, and won't cost more. If it dose not help you, the laser pickup unit of your RCA device should be replaced with same type and number. OK.

My DRC6309 RCA portable DVD player will not play disc. It says "loading" and then says "no disc". I have tried different outlets and different discs. Any suggestions? Is there a...

Hello
Either your DVD players Laser Pickup Unit is dirty or defective or its 'sled' motor has damaged. Sled motor is one, which spins the disc inside. if it does not spins, the main system IC won't get any signal that the disc is "IN", and will show the messege "No Disc". The same will happen if the laser pickup unit is defective or dirty. Insert a Head Cleaning Disc into the system, and play it for atleast 3 times. If there is any dirt or dust, this will solve your DVD's problem. If not, it should be serviced by any skilled technician. It is not a user reparable item, as you have to take out its loading mechanism completly out of it for repair. OK.
