RE: CD Errors

I have had similar problems in the past with what was a fairly new CD player at the time so it isn't just the laser power although that adds to the problem over time. The answer is that it is a combination of laser alignment, received signal output level and disc reflectance/errors which is why specific discs may cause problems and others don't. If the TOC can't be read properly, then the disc is rejected. The fact that the discs are sometimes read and sometimes rejected suggests that the reflected signal level is marginal. A new laser (which is basically the whole optical assembly) would likely solve the problem - it certainly did for me in my Sony Discman. Laser assemblies are fairly inexpensive to buy.
