CD Player not working

I had the same issue with mine. I had 3 cds left in mine as well. Everything else was working fine yet when I went to play cds the player wouldn't recognize the cd and would just skip to the next cd. When I would open the carousel door to clean the cds it still didn't help. As it was very dusty in there I assumed that the lens was dirty and
perhaps the reader needed to be"pushed" a bit to free it up. Ok I got bold and decided I would have to take the beast apart. Lots of screws..... once the unit was free from those screws I found that you have to lift the phono from its top docking and tithe remove the plug in link to the adjoining circuit board. After the phono was removed it was very tedious and tricky in trying to get some separation between the tuner and cassette location.. just be patient and gentle...... I did and finally got to see the cd roulette it was very cloudy and dusty. at this point I plugged in the ac to enable the door to slide back and forth. I could see that the lens looked like it had cataracts.. quite dusty etc. I blew compressed air and freed up much of it and then took cotton swabs moisten with Lukewarm water and then used one which had commercial cd lens cleaner on it. I then gently nudged the reader back and forth. Although at an angle I placed a cd into the roulette and attempted to see if this chore had worked..... it did! It showed the amount of tracks and time etc. I then hit play and it was tracking and playing! Now the bigger task was putting this back together. Although at first daunting to ensure the screws lined up with their respected holes everything did come together. Hey only one small metal bracket didn't make it back inside.. yet everything works.. this whole ordeal took about an hour and a half. JimB Rochester NH

either your connectors need cleaning or maybe a break in the wiring. Is there on spot where both wires come together if so check there.If there is any plugs, pull them apart and clean them with contact cleaner

The CD player might just need it's lens cleaning. Best way to do this is taking the top off and cleaning the lens with either Servisol Video 40 or CD lens cleaning fluid.

Sounds like a laser read problem
take back to retailer and get it replaced or repaired under warranty

It is under SONY warranty, please contact SONY, they will ship you a new one.

Chances are there is some dust on the lens of the player. You might need to go inside and clean it off with some Servisol Video 40 or other suitable lens cleaning stuff. The dust might have got disturbed when you put it into storage.

yes i am a repair shop and i have had nothing but problems out of those units you might want to look into a different unit boss marine is a good choice

This is either due to heating problems or You may need a new power unit inside.

Try having the amp out in the room so it has plenty of air, make sure nothing is blocking those vents

Buy A CD Lens Cleaner and put it in to the CD Player and keep retrying until the drive plays it and then follow the instructions for the CD Lens Cleaner after its finished try playing a CD if it still wont play try another disc and if it does not play that try reset the player by unplugging it for five seconds if it still wont play the CD drive has failed in the drive and you need a new stereo. Stereos dont last forever so dont be surprised if you need to buy a new one

Since the unit was in storage for a while dust may have settled on the lens.Try cleaning the lens.
