Check to see if the laser lens requires to be cleaned. If the laser it
cleaned, it is possible that the laser unit is becoming weak, or the
electronics that drives it, or reads it is going weak. In this case if
the laser is clean, proper verification of the circuits involved would
be the next step to take.

To service these players, you will need the proper test setup, the
service manual, and a discent understanding of the machine's operation
at the technical level.

Another easy suggestion is to see that the spindle motor can turn
easily, and that the laser assembly can move easily along its tracks.

If this is an expensive player, I would suggest you take it in for an
estimate, or otherwise, it may be better worth to replace.

Model CHM-S601. At first, chager loaded each disc in succession,

not spin up, and proceeded to next disk. Opened it up to check laser
operation. Pickup bobs up and down and light comes on for each disc.
Gave the disc a spin and it spun up really fast, then the changer
tried
to change discs while it was spinning at high speed. Now each disc
will spin (but at high speed) for 20 s or so and then proceed to the
next. Any suggestions? Thanks.
