After 20 years of reliable use, my system has decided not to play cds.

having never had to clean or replace the reader, might it just need a lense cleaner to rectify the problem?

Hi louken

You can try to clean it byt i doubt that will solve the quistion.thr prolem is probaly due to a bad laserpickup but more likely you have to change the capacitors on the decoder pcb its located just beneath the laser on the laserunit.if you are not familiar with these things  leave it to proff's.If you on the other hand are willing to try please reply

regards
