Displays reads--No disk

Try an known good CD that works in other CD players

Try using a DVD lens cleaner

Hi, bring to your nearest service center to repair it.

Sorry I know very little about the dvd side but my experience with several VCRs is they need cleaning sometimes just like audio tape recorders and players need cleaning. Early in my days of VCR ownership the engineer I used was sick of seeing me and taught me how to clean the heads, guides and rollers myself to restore performance and help prevent tapes being chewed. Head cleaning tapes simply did not reach the parts needing cleaning though the the wet type sometimes helped.

A VCR might work normally for several months and then suddenly it would happen again. Sometimes I needed to do a clean several times in a month. I did have a Sharp VCR once and that had something called an idler reel that would "suddenly" need replacing (several times) due to chewed tapes but other than that manual cleaning did the job every time.

Later VCRs were fitted with a self cleaner that worked well and meant there was no trouble for a long time but when the self cleaner became loaded with filth they actually made matters worse.
Matter of interest, I use clean newspaper and methylated spirit for cleaning.

Laser assembly losing ability to focus on surface of disk. Unit is old and not cost effective to repair. Go shopping.

It could be the laser, try cleaning the laser with a laser cleaning disk, if this does not help then it may be that the laser needs replacing.

you do need to clean sometimes. try using a cd cleaner found at most stores and clean disc with glass cleaner and lint free cloth

archo69..big chance your laser is on its way out..it also can be the bottom lense is dirty to ,but this requires your stereo to be removed .dismantled and cleaned manually

As a last resort only: There is a small screw on the laser unit that adjust the laser intensity. Small adjustments (keep a note of the original angle and other angles that you try) can help but be verycareful or you will render the laser as useless as **** on a boar.

have you tried useing a cd/dvd cleaner disc sounds like the laser is dirty
