My Jolida 100 skips even on new cds. How to fix?

Hello,

I have a Jolida 100 that is a few years old.

The player has starting skipping more and more, and now it is at the point where it skips even on quite new CDs.

I have tried one of those "CD player cleaners" where it is the CD with the brushes attached that you put in the player, but this has no beneficial effect.

Has anyone run into this, and does anyone have a solution of how to fix it (aside from sending it for repair)

thank you
Todd

This may be an easy fix ... sounds like the rails that the laser sled rides on have dried up and need to be re-lubricated.

When the rails dry up, the laser sled will momentarily bind, causing the skipping.

Check with Jolida as to what type of lubricant you should use, or take it to a repair shop, and have them Lube it ...

I had a Jolida for a couple of years. I had some problem discs with certain songs that it would not track. My TRL modified Sony tracks these discs without fail. I guess that the transport or error correction circuitry of the Jolida is not as good as other players. But it sounds like your problem is getting progressively worse. I would contact your dealer and send it back for repair before it stops tracking completely.

I doubt this problem has to do with tracking. I'd say Dave is right - and/or you may need to clean the lens with alcohol. Check with Jolida as to what they recommend you use.

Man i had heard at least 3 X's here on audiogon that Jolida was garbage.
Seems to be the case.

My advise is to trash it.
