Cd player Does anyone know why my sony cfd-v8 player keeps stopping?it plays then stops for a second or two then carries on from where it left off,it does not skip just stops then carries on.

Sounds like the laser slid is sticking. it's not the CD that's the issue, but solidified grease on the CD laser rail. The sled motor has to work harder to push the laser past the lump of grease but once it does the sound continues. Does it get better after you've played 3 or 4 cd's? Same time into a CD each time? If so it's easy to fix by cleaning the old grease off the laser rails and re-greasing.
