RonW. Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Can mid to higher volumes cause your CD player to skip, I don't recall it skipping previously. I just had the CDP serviced and a new laser and belt was replaced, it is a 25 year old Sony C85ES model. I don't know if it's vibrations or the laser is malfunctioning? What do you think. Thanks, RonW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Both of mine skip too when cranking up the volume. Done it since new. Also Sony ES products. Must be normal. Edited December 7, 2013 by jason str Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Funny I don't recall any of my vinyl records skipping when I crank it up, hahahahaha. I have a feeling that Jason has some serious bass when he cranks it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I have to wonder if they left something loose or did something wrong when serviced. I'd talk to them about it. I had a skipping cd player once but I ran one of those cds with the brushes and that took care of it. Turns out I just had some gunk on it.

jason str Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If you have problems with skipping disks under mid to moderate listening levels something is wrong. I would need to pump at least 120+ watts to my Chorus II's to get skipping from either deck. The Tuba's need to be low passed under 70 Hz under higher volume or i get the same thing. Turning down the bass will help with my gear, i do not normally crank it up too often anymore. Call the repair center where you had the work done and tell them whats going on if you think its abnormal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing funny about it, you just don't have any serious volume or Bass! I can skip a turntable or a CD player, but it is easier to skip a turntable...

The Dude Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Funny I don't recall any of my vinyl records skipping when I crank it up, hahahahaha. I have a feeling that Jason has some serious bass when he cranks it. Oh I know, I have a ttls I keep it low to insure no skipage, how ever one nice thing is my floors in the basement are concrete so that helps I am sure. Hopefully the Ron can get this resolved so he can jam some tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) If it didn't skip before replacing the new laser, I agree with Jason, call the repair place. It could be a dirty lens. The lens on my Sony CDP-515 needed cleaning a couple years ago. It would skip whenever it wanted. The dirt/dust came off fine with Isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip. Older Sony cd players seem to skip easy. Mine does with loud thumps. Put a pillow under it and crank some tunes, to check if bass is to blame. If vibrations are the problem you can make your own vibration absorbing feet. I've heard these help, but haven't tried them: http://www.musicdirect.com/p-7652-vibrapods.aspx Edited December 10, 2013 by Rivernuggets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBryan Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 My CD transport skipped about 5 years ago. I opened the drawer, sprayed some compressed air at the lens assembly, closed the drawer and it hasn't skipped since. If that doesn't do it, call the folks who repaired it... matter of fact, I'd call them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmusic Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Ron, Try cleaning it with a CD cleaner, mine has skipped in the past a couple times after I cleaned it no more skips.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
