How much should I spend on a CD Walkman? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have spent 40 dollars on the last two CD Walkmans and have had the same problem. When I press play, NO DISC appears on the screen? Does anyone know why this happens?

you have to put a cd in first.

Why do u always have to act like a WACKBALL? You know what I meant. I said the CD is inside the Walkman and when i press play-the message NO DISC appears on the screen. So i'm trying to figure out does that come from dropping it or just the CD walkman being cheap?

Were the CD's you put in used a lot? Did they have scratches?

No two of them are brand new. That's why I thought it was the CD walkman

Sometimes I have that problem. When I do I just open the thing back up and make sure the CD is in there all the way. Sometimes it just isn't in there straight. Try that and if it doesn't work maybe you should invest a little more money for a better discman. $40 is kinda cheap. Buy a good name brand one. Stay away from those off brands.

I just bought a new CD walkman like 2 or 3 years ago. The one I had before that I had for like 5 years and it started to make these weird noises. Anyway, the one I have now is a Sony and I spend like 100 bucks on it. I say, if you want a nice one spend at least like 90 or 100 bucks. Also, what I really like about this one is it also has an AM/FM radio with it, too. For me that's really nice, because after I listen to CD's I'll listen to the radio. With my old CD walkman I had to transfer over to my other walkman that had a radio. So, that's just a suggestion.

I bought my CD player in 1996, and it's running as good as the first time I listened to it. I paid about $70 for it, so it was a bit of a strain, but hey, if its lasted for 7 years, it's more than worth it. My advice is to get a good brand name and one that's more than $20 - $30. By the way, I have a Panasonic XBS.
