My CD Player has a skipping problem with random CD's.

IF its an older SONY player, or an player with a KSS type laser in it ? then may be this can help
In the laser unit is a small spring remove this and also the overlying plate, a plastic block is seated at one end of the metal quide shaft move it very carefully in order to push aside the guide shaft as far as possible in order to free the laser in order to remove it, but is not strictly necessary to remove the plate the little spring only can save a lot of trouble with this type of laser.
The cogs are in that early years made to to delicately and get trouble over the time on the white axle excessive wear , the later models laser have it not anymore
If not Sony only to do a cleaning and silicon lubricate the guide shaft(s) of the laser again. can also help
Especially in the case of the mark Technics lasers which has a magnet transport, or Pioneer which often has a worm shaft.

It sounds like you have the cd on random or shuffle. Look to see if you have a button marked rdm or shuf or some variation of that. If so, try pressing that button to see if random/shuffle turns off.

that is not 5hf, but rather shf which is short for shuffle. There should be a shuffle button on the deck. You need to turn it off. Shuffle mode randomly plays different songs.

hi
There is a diode in the power supply which gives dc supply to the laser focusing coil driver ic . if the diode get faulty this problem can occur. Just replace all the rectifier diodes in the power supply stage. Its better than searching for the exact one. then check the cd player is it skips the tracks. if then also its skips the tracks then you have to change the laser pickup unit.
ok

It is covered under warranty... DO NOT risk voiding warranty. Take it for repair under warranty immediately.

may be you pressed a random button on CD player and it automatically plays music random There is some options on CD player- - if you want specific song play over and over again (it shoud say repete) just check with those options and see which one is ON

Hi,

This could be a possible worn laser pick-up problem.

Could be either the Track skip switch has collapsed and is thus over sensative or the button bank is broken and the track skip switch is being pressed when the cue button is used.
Could also have liquid spillage on the circuit board which cause all sorts of random problems

file system corrupted

try cleaning the laser diode with an alcohol-soaked swab. be careful not to use too much alcohol or to press too hard against the diode lens.
