SonicSeeker Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Any one out there have a McIntosh MVP-871 and have problems with it reading discs. I have had a few problems with mine, it dosent seem to do well with even a minor scratch or smudge,It will lock up and I have to reset it and remove the disc. I have several other players that play the same Discs with no problem at all. I use it for music, mostly cd's,SACD's, DVD Audio, ect. Any feed back is appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Have you tried cleaning the lens in the player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 No, How do I go about doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasDom Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 No, How do I go about doing this. There are many over the counter cleaning kits. They usually have a disc and a cleaning liquid. The disc will typically have some very fine bristles that clean the lens as it spins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Do these actually work. Do you have any first hand experience with them? I checked with Radio Shack locally and they have some there. They also have a disc doctor to clean and supposedly repair discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disc doctor is good to use as a preventive measure to clean and address scratched disc but like Ref said, you probably need to clean the lens.

SonicSeeker Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yes the lens is definitely what needs addressing because as I said the discs play fine in my other players. I too have an oppo thanks to this Forum, and it has no problem with the same discs. I hope this works. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

SonicSeeker Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 By the way I have the BDP-95 what is the difference with the new 105. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Well just have to say thank you very much, just cleaned the lens with the disc and played a pretty much unplayable cd (I bought a new one to replace it because it was in such poor shape) and it played through with only one little skip so I think I am all set. Love having this forum and really appreciate the help. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
