Sony CDP-C705 5 Disc Carousel Misbehavior


Bought it a few months ago for a song - literally - at a thrift shop.

Exhibits the following, occasionally:

A - On a single CD, freezes and/or skips, particularly on higher tracks toward end of album. Kinda like pressing fast fwd/backwd.

B - On multiple CDs, freezes and/or skips. In shuffle mode, sometimes can't 'find' another disc to shuffle to.

In both circumstances, will occasionally just stop playing disc entirely, sometimes midway through a song.

Steps I've taken so far:

1. Made sure any CD I put in there is mint clean.

2. Used a brush-style CD player lens cleaner disc according to lens cleaner instructions.

Both steps have reduced behaviors in A & B, but not elminated them.


What else can I do to eliminate these problems, even under hood?

Also: Are these symptoms of read-head laser alignment, or of logic control?
