2000 Max SE w/ Bose.

Whenever I put in a CD that isn't 100% scratch free (few of mine are), I get a constant tick tick tick tick tick sound as the CD plays. I realize that this is partially because I have abused some CDs but they play fine on my home stereo and even on a walkman.

Will using a cleaning CD clear this up? Is there anything I can do to make this thing less sensitive to scratches and smudges on the CD?

 

i have this problem too with some of my CDS and someone asked this before and I think someone told them to use a cleaner and it would clear it up.. I have yet to try it but it worked for someone else though.

 

Use a laser lens cleaner and it should clear up. It does with my stereo anyway...

 

all my cds in my car are badly damaged, i dont think i can save them

 

I hate that sound...
My CD player scratch's my CD...
It ****es me off...
does it happen to anyone else..

 

Are these CDR's that you are talking about? I sometimes have this problem also. I burn CD's all the time, and it seems to come from my CDR's only, more of every brand except Memorex. I often waste alot CD's because of this, because I have to burn multiple CD's until I find a good one. I cleaned my CD laser in my car, but that doesn't help. I think it's the CD's themselves.

 

Tried my lens cleaner (twice) with no results. First CD (pressed, not a CD-R) tick tick tick tick tick tick.

'tis driving me crazy. Any advice is appreciated.
