i have the cda-7893 headunit and i have owned it for a little over a year then out of no where it starts messing up, it will only read a few cd-r's i has no problems with the real cds, just burned, and when they do work sometimes they will skip about every 6 or 7 seconds, if anyone could help me with this problem that would be awesome thanx.

 

perhaps try a can of compressed air with the little 'straw' attachment and put a few blasts of air in through the cd slot or other openings??? Perhaps some dust or dirt has settled on the laser?

 

Or you could buy a CD lens cleaner kit... that'll yield better results.

 

i did try the laser lense cleaner, and I had no difference with the problem, i took it to the dealer and they are going to have to ship it to the alpine warehouse and they are going to determine the problem and fix it for me so, thanks anyways guys
