I have a 2002 Sony 5 Disc DVD/CD Player (DVP-NC615). It has a Precision Drive 2 System. *Notes. I have already taken it apart and cleaned it. I do not have the remote. Hasnt been used for a few years. I have tried to play approximately 20 DVDs on it and only 2 will work.
Typically this type of behavior is indicative of a failing laser. Try playing a number of standard CDs. If these all work without fail, it suggests that the laser is starting to weaken. If you have already cleaned the lens, then the “simple” fixes have already been applied. At this point, changing the optics assembly is the next step.
