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.

I owne'd the Sony SCD-1 for an even year and I know first hand that while a great player they are not the best at dealing with scrathced or less than ideal discs. It sounds like you simply have a disc that is slightly damaged. Other players will deal with them easily, but the mechnism in the Sony is very sensitive to scratched media.

Best regards,

Mike
