It has the same problem you describe. It would make noise sometimes and only with certain disks. The way I eventually solved it was to open up the box and loosen the screws in the top of the metal plate that covers the cd. I put the cover back on but left all the screws out of it. This loosens the chassis up a little and you can change the noise by putting something under one of the feet. I used to put short stacks of 10-15 notecards under one of the front feet and this would stop the noise. It took some experimenting but I got it to the point where it worked without noise. Every once in a while it would start up again and I'd shift something a little and it would be ok again.
It's a quirky player for sure but is really well built and sounds good. Mine saw heavy use for 7-8 years until it finally croaked on me last winter. I think it just needs a new motor because the discs don't start spinning unless you take the top off and give them a push.
