I don't get many of these either, but logic would dictate that the Laser is working, or the unit would NOT play DVDs. If you are trying to play a CDr, instead of a factory recorded audio CD, that would be my first suspect, till proven otherwise. Many of the DVD/CD players will not play a CDR.

Audio, CDR's it will not read TOC. It will spin and sometimes lock up for a while trying to read the disk. Laser does light OK. Are these units known for bad lasers or ribbons? Is it possible to test the laser some how? Don't do very many of these and would appreciate any help. Thank you.
