Sony SCD777ES skipping problem

My Sony 777 is skipping on several CDs. Actually, what it does is "hang" in one spot and repeat a very short half-second segment endlessly. Some of these discs have visible scratches, but this never seemed to bother any other CDP or transport I have used. No problems with SACDs so far, but I don't have that many. Anyone else had this problem with the Sony? Do you think it needs to be serviced? Thanks. Dan.

mine will do that on occasion, but after a good cleaning of the disk problem solved. I do have a real old CD that does have a scratch, and it won't play, but other then that very happy with the unit

I would do as the post above suggests. Try cleaning your discs and then give them a shot. If the majority continue to "repeat", you either need new discs or may want to get the player checked out. It's possible that you might have accrued just enough dirt on the laser lens to impede its' performance under marginal conditions, such as scuffing, scratching, discs cracked in half, .... : ) Sean

Check with Sony. I've heard they had a software update.
