The E20 error means that your CD player's lense is dirty. It can't "see" the disc. I had this problem myself & tried to run a cleaning disc which didn't work for the same reason; the player can't see the disc. After searching on the web again, I finally found an answer & you aren't going to believe this, but it works. Take a paper towel & wrap it around a CD so that the ends stick out over the back of the disc enough that you can hold onto it. (obviously, you want to avoid getting the paper towel stuck in there) Then insert that into your player a couple of times & pull it back out. Then insert your cleaning disc (without the paper towel) & let it run. When I did mine, it worked after I did the paper towel thing & cleaning disc, & then did the E20 thing again a few days later so I just used the paper towel trick again & it has worked fine for about 2 months now. I got the feeling that I wouldn't have needed the cleaning disc, so you may want to try the paper towel thing a few times first & see if it works & save yourself about $10.
