Are the disks you're trying to have it read commercially created, or have they been burnt by a regular computer CD burner? Sometimes the burner type causes problems. If it's a blanket issue with reading disks, though, then you may have a dirty lens. Does the problem occur with music CDs? I noticed you made a distinction about that in your original post.
