This Sony CDP-C335 is just a few millimeters away from working properly.
When the 5 disk carousel rotates the CD into place, the clamping mechanism
closes but the metal pin in the clamping mechanism which is supposed to
line up with the hole in the carousel is not lining up properly. It either
makes a loud snapping noise as the pin forces its way through the hole in
the carousel or the clamping mechanism jams completely as it cannot force
its way into place since the alignment between the two is off. The belt in
the carousel mechanism has good tension and is not slipping. Anyone seen
this problem before?

Thanks for your reply.

I think I would look at the flat wire from the carousel down to the main
board. Seen a few bad, and the opto-sensing would certainly be affected by
this.
