    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr at end of tether! Now, I love my music, but havin problems with my stereo system, been havin problems for ages. The cds all skip, doesnt matter what cd, any cd, they all jump and somehow the likes of Iron maiden just dont sound too good when they skipping backwards all the time. I have a disc cleaner, have cleaned all cds, I bought a lens cleaner, and have cleaned that several times but still the same. Any advice?

    is it worn cd’s or worn player?
    some people say put your cd’s in the freezer overnight and it “repairs” minor damage but havent tried it myself yet

    Maybe the band from the motor to the drive spindle has stretched and its slipping.

    Thats what I thought, but a lens cleaner should clear it shouldn’t it?

    The cover will have to come off and you will need to find the drive motor, then see if the band is perished or slack. Move the spindle with your finger and push in on the band to see if there is not much resistance etc. It may not be accessible mate, so you might have to get an engineer to check it.

    Are the speakers on the same stand as your hi-fi?

    most lens cleaners do more damage than good if you try b2bm’s idea give the lens a wipe with a Q-tip at the same time also the drive wheel might be worn on its spindle causing it to slip

    if the music is jumping backwards the reader might be knackered

    yes I understand fully what you are both saying and will look at it when I get chance, sid it jumps as if there is summat on cd and wont go past that point. If the reader or drive wheel thingy majobby is knackered, its a new player yes?[:0] Geez I’m glad I got dvd player….[8)]

    if the readers knackered depends on the players value as to whether its worth fixing if the drive wheels loose try superglue check if you have an aux-in plug you might pick up a stand alone cd player on ebay a bit cheaper
