I have a Pioneer DV-C503 that has stopped playing CDs completely. It does
still play DVD movies without problems.

When you load the CD, it attempts to read it, and you can hear a faint
clicking noise. I believe this noise is the laser pickup trying to read.
When it decides it can't read the CD, it opens the tray.

I have search the net, but have not been able to find this problem. Any
ideas? This player is about 2 - 2.5 years old, and has not had allot of
use.

Thanks in advance!

Mine does the same thing. I noticed it would play older CDs 1 out of
10 times that I loaded them. I also noticed that it always plays CD-Rs
without fail. Trying to play newer CDs causes it to make the clicking
sound you mentioned. Once that happens, I have to turn it off to get
it to play anything.
