CD player acknowledge CD, starts to play, then stops
System is about two years old. In the last week the CD player acknowledges a CD, starts to play, then stops. The CD still continues to spin-you can hear it, but it won't play. The numbers of the tracks come up initally when it starts to play then goes to two dashes. Have tried several times to clean it, and it won't even acknowledge the cleaning CD enough to play it. Have tried several different cleaning discs and it won't acknowledge any of them. Help! The system is a Trutech T200-B portable CD player with AM/FM radio.

its possible that the lens of the laser has collected dust over time but its quiet old so i guess the optical pick up is worn out, replacing would help
1. Go to Start>> Right click My Computer>> Manage>> Device Manager
2. Expand the USB Controller section
3. Right click and Uninstall all of the listed USB devices
4. Reboot the system
The reading of flash drives and MP3 discs vary from each manufacturer. Usually, ten folders with music in each folder will work on most. To the best of my knowledge, Clarion reads well. When all else fails, you can always just drag and drop all the MP3's without folders. I know it's not as easy "finding" songs that are in folders but seems like you can't do that anyway.
I know this is lame, but the manual ALWAYS describes HOW to make the disc (folder trees etc.)
1. Go to System/Library/Caches and trash the folder com.apple.kernelcaches
2. Go back to System/Library and trash the file Extensions.kextcache
3. Restart.
If that doesn't work, try trashing this file:
~Home/Library/Preferences/CD Info.cidb
That is the way its done
I would suggest trying some sort of laser cleaning device. You can pick one up at Target or Wal*Mart.
How it works is there are a few small brushes on what looks like a normal CD. When you insert this into your CD player, the brushes run over the laser head and remove dust and other particles from it. This can help when discs are unreadable, or if there is static while trying to play a disc.
Hope this helps!
When you say turns off do you meen power switches off or just stops playing.A good test is to play a cd,if this plays ok the problem is more than likely laser related and with the cost of replacing the laser being so expensive,it can be cheaper to replace player itself.Have you tried cleaning the lens assy with cleaning disc??
