CD Player "Disc Unreadable" - All Discs!

I have the 6 CD player and a couple of weeks ago it would eject a disc when the ignition was turned on.

Even though I can insert and eject all 6 discs, I'm getting the "Disc Unreadable" message for each one.
The discs are OK.

Hopefully the laser head hasn't failed.

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks

Apart from one cd player that I bought in the 80's and is still going strong, every cd or dvd player I have had in my house (in computers, TV or Hifi) has failed after 3 or 4 years. If you google the problem you will find that it's the most common reason for scrapping hifi systems. Sometimes you can open up the box and tweak a potentiometer to put a bit more current through the laser but basically you are on borrowed time when the laser is having trouble reading the TOC (table of contents) which is on the inside track. On some players you can sometimes get the thing to play if you keep hitting the next track button whilst it's still reading the TOC. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Sounds daft, is the format of the cd right? I put some of my music on a CD that was formatted as a storage device and the FL2 wouldn't read it. Reformatted the CD as a disc (only 80 songs per disc now Rolling Eyes ) but the radio plays it correctly now.

Hi Steven T.,

yes the CD's are fine. All worked/played fine until the unit started ejecting a disc when I inserted the key fob.

Thanks

I had an expensive Sony SADC player that packed up last year after about 5 years.

On the other topic some earlier CD players won't read MP3 files but that's not a laser issue.

PS My vinyl still works OK. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Not sure on your model if you can hook in to another medium like a Ipod or memory stick but if not I would spend my money on converting to that rather than buy a new unit as I never bother with my CD's now. Having said that I don't have mapping discs. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

It sounds like your problem is laser related but this maybe worth a try it worked for me with a cd problem. With ignition off remove stereo fuse from rear of car,start car then replace fuse,good luck.

Best bet for you is to move into the 21st century. Use your PC to record all your CDs as MP3 and put them on your Cell phone and use that to play through the car stereo. Whistle MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

The problem with that is that the Premium sound system will only utilise the full Dolby Surround 13:1 set up when playing from discs.
Through all other means it only plays in 3 channel (left/right/subwoofer)

However I bought a plug in blue tooth device with a 3.5mm male jack and plug into the aux socket. no messy cables trailing to my phone to play music off it.

I suppose there's only so much that can be done with a 3.5mm jack plug. For me, with some Tinnitus, it's good enough. Big Cry
Having said that, if you play around with the equaliser on the phone you can change the sound significantly. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE
