Cd player my cd player is playing all the cds as if they are scratch, i put a new cd in and it does the same thing, i also use a lens cleaner and that did not work. This is a 6 disc cd changer.

There could be a few possible causes for the CD player in your Valencia MP36 not playing CDs properly. Here are a few things you could try:

1. Clean the CD. Dust, dirt, and fingerprints can all interfere with the CD player's ability to read the disc. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the CD.
2. Check the CD for scratches or damage. If the CD is scratched or otherwise damaged, it may not play properly.
3. Check the CD player's laser lens. The laser lens is responsible for reading the CD and can become dirty or misaligned over time. If the laser lens is dirty, use a CD lens cleaner to clean it. If the laser lens is misaligned, you may need to have the CD player serviced.
4. Check the CD player's connections. Make sure that all of the connections between the CD player and the amplifier or receiver are secure.

If these steps do not help, it is possible that there is a problem with the CD player itself. In this case, you may need to have the CD player repaired or replaced.

hi Nancy.
this could be dust on the lens that reads the disc.
Use a disk-based lens cleaner to remove ground in dust or dirt from the CD player's lens. These lens cleaners look like a regular CDs, but have specially-made bushes on the reverse side that gently remove excess dirt from the CD-reading lens. Simply put the CD in your player, and press the "Play" button to clean the lens. Do not run the cleaner more than once, as excess brushing can cause scratches on the lens.
Polish the lens. Use a glass or eyeglass cleaning solution and a lint-free cloth to gently polish the reading lens. Clean it by using a low amount of pressure and softly polishing the lens and its surrounding area using soft, circular motions. Do this for about a minute or two and then allow the player to sit for a few minutes before trying to play a CD.

hi there.
Although CDs are still the preferred method of audio distribution, CD players are quickly being phased out in lieu of MP3 players. If your old CD player stops working, it might be a little panic-inducing, but fear not. If the CD player turns on but does not play CDs, then the problem is not with the power cord or the circuity (which are generally more expensive to repair rather than fix) but with the lens. There are several troubleshooting steps that you can take to fix a CD player when it won't play.
Step 1 Remove excess dust from the CD player. Dust is the number one enemy of electronics, and it can corrode even the most resilient device. Make sure to dust in between buttons, knobs, power cord(s) and audio-out ports. Note: use a dry duster, as moisture will harm your CD player further.
Step 2 Use a disk-based lens cleaner to remove ground in dust or dirt from the CD player's lens. These lens cleaners look like a regular CDs, but have specially-made bushes on the reverse side that gently remove excess dirt from the CD-reading lens. Simply put the CD in your player, and press the "Play" button to clean the lens. Do not run the cleaner more than once, as excess brushing can cause scratches on the lens.

Things You'll Need:

* Glass/lens cleaner
* CD cleaning disk

Tips & Warnings

If the CD player does not turn on or off, or the power indicator flashes infrequently, the problem is with the power cord or the circuit board, in which case the CD player will not be able to be repaired.


If the CD player still does not work after these steps, the lens has probably been scratched, and the CD player will need to be replaced.

yes here is a simple easy way to get them to stop skipping, stick them in the freezer portion of your fridge, only if the cds have scratches on them, even the smallest scratch can cause a perfectly working cd player to make the cd skip, stick the cd in the freezer for about 15 or 20 mins and pull it out and play it, i have used this method for a lot of my video games as well and have never had to buy any "cd player cleaner cds" i hope this helps

Hello,

how long have you been using this player? The problem should be from the lens (laser).

The lens is weak and that's why it cannot read/load Cd's. The weak lens is also what's making it say disc error.

Get a lens cleaner and use it to clean the lens, but if the lens still does the same thing even after using the lens cleaner, then it means you would have to change the whole lens completely to a brand new one.

By so doing your player would play all Cd's with no problem at all.

Good luck.

The lens is weak and that's why it cannot read/load DVD's. The weak lens is also what's making it says "disc error" or "Unknown disc". It can still play Cd's because, Cd's does not contain large files, unlike DVD's.

could be one of 2 things
use a cd lens cleaner to clean the laser lens .
or could be warped or damaged cds and player wont play them
also if they are burnt cd the player may be to old to read them.

It's a lost cause. It needs a new CD mech, unfortunately.
