I see many of the same type medium priced audio CD/cassette players
that come in for routine cleaning from area schools. Many times the
complaint is "CD not working". Before doing any cleaning I test them
with a variety of my own CD's and often times I cannot confirm any
problems with many of these machines. I have asked that the teachers
include with the particular offending player any particular CD which
has failed to play for them but usually I never get any. My own test
CD's are just standard CD's and vary in that they are different sizes.
Some consist of two tracks, others are four, one is ten, etc. Is there
any relationship between how many tracks are recorded on the CD and
whether or not it may or may not play on a given questionable
machine ? Most of these machines have been in service for about five
or six years. I don't like giving them back NPF but a bad laser on one
of these is a death sentence so I would like to be able to know if
there is a way without getting too involved to accurately assess this.
Thanks, Lenny.


Most are probably burn yourself type, and do not
always play well.
