CD won't play right

21 years ago

We have one of those under the counter radio/CD players. Just bought a new CD and it doesn't play right in this machine, but it plays fine in all our other players and in the car. It's not the machine because all our other CD's play just fine in it. Any ideas?

You run into this situation periodically. A CD won't play in one player even though it will play in all others.

Does your computer have a CD burner? If so, make a copy of the CD and see the copy plays in the under-counter player. I don't think it's a copyright violation to make a copy of a CD you legitimately purchased in a situation such as this, where you can't get the original to play properly, or if you want to make a backup copy in case the original is damaged.

My suggestion is that you get one of those CD cleaner CD's and run that thru the player. Most likely the IR reader is dusty or has some kitchen "stuff" - like smoke, grease, whatever on the readers. Yo may have to do this every time you cook certain foods.

I burned a copy of the original and it plays fine. Very strange. Never ran into this before. Good idea about cleaning the player, it is right next to the stove. Thanks you guys!
