If it only happens with this one CD, it could be a damaged/improperly manufactured CD. If it happens with many different CDs, then the player could have a tracking mis-adjustment or a weak laser assembly.

CD skipping usually has more to do with scratches on the cd than the cd player itself. If you find, however, that a certain player is more touchy with a cd than another player - the problem could be a dirty lens. A simple cleaning with the proper cleaner could be a big help.

because the CD plaer has different levels of laser reading such as level 3(which is where most CD players are) while others may be lower the higher it is the better

You must check the CD to make sure it isn't scratched; try to wipe the CD down with a clean cloth. If the CD is fine, then the CD player's sensor may be damaged.

How can you fix disc skiping problem on a sony cdx-m630?

If the skipping is caused by a scratch on the CD, try cleaning the CD. If the CD is scratched you can sometimes polish out the scratch. If the CD player skips on NEW CD's, unfortunately it will probably cost more to repair the player than it would cost for a new one.

Are MP3 players more resistant to skipping than CD players?

Yes they are. CD players sometime skip because of the way it works - it spins the CD around and reads off of it, and a bump can cause the laser to lose its place for a moment before continuing again. MP3 players with a hard drive can still skip, since the process is similar to a CD player, but due to its speed and size that's still very unlikely. Finally, MP3 players with flash-based memory have absolutely no moving parts and skipping is impossible, for all intents and purposes.


Why Car CD player clicks instead of ejecting?

It is most likely either jammed, or damaged so that some part of the player is holding the disk back. the clicking noise is the sound of the motor skipping.


Why does your CD player in your 2004 Cavalier just eject the CD's and show an err message?

If this is in reference to burned CD's, it is an incompatibility issue with the burned disk and the CD player. If the error occurs when the disk is a manufactured standard music CD disk in good condition, there is likely a mechanical issue with the laser read arm, or the laser itself is malfunctioning. The most common cause for that is debris on the laser lens. The CD player is struggling to read the total play time of the CD and count the number of tracks. Sort of like compiling the play list. Try burning the CD at a slower speed, which makes the data easier to read for older CD players. Also, while the CD player is attempting to read the burned disk (right after you put it in), try pressing the Next Song arrow button as if you are skipping forward a few songs. Sometimes this will help the CD player determine how many songs are on the disk and it will start playing. Once the CD player has started playing successfully, you should not have an issue with the disk when starting the vehicle or powering the CD player on and off. However, if you remove the disk the memory is wiped and the process must be repeated.
