AYON CD-1s CD Problematic Tracking Issue

Have a gently used AYON CD-1s I just acquired. I have a serious CD tracking conundrum ..

Whenever I load a CD manufactured by a brand name, it sets up properly and plays.

Occasionally, however, I have a problem with these CDs (eg too much warp or other), and I need to make a copy .. so I make a copy using laptops I have ..

the copy plays WITHOUT any problems on my laptop(s) and on my old retired Melos tube CD player (which uses a Sony player, is 15+ yrs old, and has been very very heavily used) but it never sets up and plays on the AYON CD-1s ..

I usually end up making 2-4 copies, until one of the copies finally 'takes' and plays properly .. the other day I made 3 copies of a CD, and NONE of them took (the original CD rotated with a tick-tick-tick for some reason, so I needed to copy it) even though ALL CD copies played without problems on both of my computers, and on my old Melos.

So how do I get CD copies to play on this machine??? Is there any secret??? Do I need to use a special CD copy machine??

I suspect that the inner tracks of the copies are a bit too close to the CD center, and the AYON tracking head doesnt go into the center far enough to pick up the track start, whereas manufactured CDs have the inner track start a tiny bit further out from the center of the CD, and the AYON head picks up the start

Thanks
