Liberty: 6-CD Player

[ernie5]

Here's a quandary. On only some discs, the player exhibits a clicking/whirring sound while the disc spins that is sometimes quite annoying. Again, this only affects certain CDs (a minority), but it does so regardless of which of the 6 trays that CD is in. Is this a problem anyone's dealt with before? Is this a 6-CD player issue? I sorta didn't want a 6-CD player, but it was there . . . now I'm wondering if I should have just gotten the 1-CD player + cassette. Any advice or anecdotal info? Thanks.

Hi,

I've had that problem before with a 5-disc changer in my home stereo system. It also only happens on one or two CDs I own. I've never found a cure for this problem, I think it must be unbalanced CDs or something :roll:

If the problem follows the CD, then, it is prolly the CD. Mostly, Home-made CDs will do this, but sometimes you will get the CD that has a scratch on the reader track and the laser can't get the Info it needs so it will "Whir and Skip" then just decide there is no CD in that spot even though it is actually spinning the CD.

I am going to place my money on the CD itself.

True -- the odd thing in my case is that the CD plays just fine. If I turn it up loud enough, I don't hear the clicking. It doesn't skip -- just makes a clicking, spokes sound. So far only on V2 discs (Virgin Records).
Thanks for replies, by the way.
