My cd player does not play consistantly after loading. It either works well or just spins for about 4 seconds without playing after a disc is loaded. Is this a common problem? Does the unit need cleaning with an air can as I have read or is it a faulty part , is there a replacement part that I can source please and how much will it cost.
Many thanks in anticiptaion of your help.
Hello John - Welcome to BeoWorld!
First up - check the CD isn't grubby or scratched.
Secondly - clean the lens with a cotton bud and some lens cleaning fluid (I've used good quality glass cleaner for about 15 years and never done any harm, but some people might baulk at that...)
Thirdly - if the above doesn't work the laser is on its way out. It's cheaper to buy another used Ouverture these days (sadly) - but your local B&O service centre may be able to get the laser if there are any left!
