All CDs? Some CDs? Same place in the same CD (even after ejecting and re-inserting)? Random? Car in motion or standstill? Subwoofer on / off?

its skips in stanstill ca and subwoofer on never tried it with sub off. all cds skip at random place

Could you please try with sub off?

Probably you need to get your unit serviced properly - might just overcome the odd loose connection in the unit.

By skipping I hope you mean the abrupt "chhik ... chhik" type of noise that comes, not short periods of silence. If it is periods of silence, then the problem is something else.

harry2223 · 11th May 2008, 19:08

yes the problem persist without sub. its not chik chik sound but some parts of song are skipped

DerAlte · 11th May 2008, 23:16

OK, now that is different - nothing wrong with the CD player. Possible causes:
* If all channels AND sub go off, Intermittent loose contact in the HU, OR
* If only one of [front, rear or sub] goes off, the appropriate connection to the amp is having loose contact

You haven't mentioned your ICE configuration. You were having doubts about 2ch/4ch amp, and you wanted to connect an iPod. So do you have 2 speakers or 4?

i presently have a jvc cd player,alpine 2 channel amp , xplod sub woofer, and xplod speakers at rear.

OK, easy tests:

1. Do BOTH the sub and the speakers go silent when the CD music stops intermittently? If so, there is a loose contact in the CD player.

2. Does this happen also while playing FM/AM radio? If yes, then the HU amp is overheating (borderline) and cutting out in that situation

Does it skip even when the car is stationary, or only when engine running and car moving

harry2223 · 12th May 2008, 20:34

it skips when car is stationary. der alte there is no silence but the song immediately skips from one paragraph to another, and starts playing from there only

Get your lens cleaned. This sounds like you have dust on your lens. You can run a cleaning CD, or open the HU and get the lens cleaned. And if you do remove your HU to clean the lens, do not forget to check for any loose connections on the rear.

DerAlte · 13th May 2008, 10:00

OK.

Could be a simple loose contact, or dust on the travel mechanism, or could be a bad lens (less likely, since you have already cleaned it). Any chance of getting the HU serviced in Patiala?

harry2223 · 14th May 2008, 08:16
