Re: disc skippin
its neither.. Your cd player does not have the anti skip feature. Some older cd players did not come with them built in so when you hit a bump it will skip like your does. My old alpine did the same thing, until i got sick of it and bought a new one. Thats about the only way to fix the problem.

Re: disc skippin
yeah as i said some older aftermarket cd players did not come with the anit ship feature built in. Alpine has always had problems with thier cd players skipping. I finally went to JVC but i would reccomend Kendwood or JVC. Or any good cd player that you may be able to afford. You could also try cleaning it with a cleaning cd, the lens may just be dirty.

Re: disc skippin
my pioneer hasnt skipped once, but your cd player may be skipping due to improper mounting.
Id take it out and put it back in.

Re: disc skippin
well all of this is good advice. first ill try to clean it or pull it out to remount it. if that doesnt work ill just replace the system.
