Could I not just use the remote & open and close the draw or is it a different part of the mech your talking about?It might not be the lens, sometimes the runners for the laser sled can get a tad sticky and also cause misread problems. You used to be able to buy test CDs that included a start and end short track that you would program on repeat to make the sled run backwards and forwards, freeing it up. I have one somewhere and it was very effective, unfortunately I have no idea where it is atm.
Exactly the famed problem with the awesome Micromega CDP's.It might not be the lens, sometimes the runners for the laser sled can get a tad sticky and also cause misread problems.
Well my CD player is still working perfectly since putting my new CD cleaner thru it so all the posts about it needing some adjustment or repairs/service look to be incorrect.Thanks for all the replies I bought a cd lense cleaner & ran it thru a few times and all is well so far
