Try cleaning, one never knows: but bad news is that in most cases it's a failur of CD/DVD player of your computer and you should change it. If you are not experimentes ind mdismounting/moubting laptops, better get technical service. See Video how it's done

Subaru Liberty. It won't read CDs the Radio works but when try playing a CD it say 'Error 6'.

Try using a CD Lens Cleaner disc on it, but the link suggests it is a disc transport issue. That would need a Clarion Service Centre. Clarion make it branded as Macintosh.

My front loader reads disc error or unplayable no matter what disc I insert. It worked just fine for about 2 years. It doesn ot get heavy cd use, but everyday radio/alarm use.

To resolve this issue, try one or all of the following:

The Wave® music system is designed to play commercial CDs, CD-Rs, MP3-encoded CDS and CD-RWs. If your system has trouble playing MP3 CDs, make sure the discs were recorded with compatible formats. See Cannot play MP3 CDs

The system may not be able to play certain CD-RW discs. Playability is dependant on how the disc was recorded, including the format it was recorded in and the actual disc used for recording.
Note: iTunes defaults to AAC as the encoding format. In order to use iTunes to make CDs that will play on the Wave® music system, you’ll need to change the format to MP3 How to Choose Import Options

Different brands of CD-Rs and CD-RWs use different materials which may affect the ability of a player to read them. If you are burning your own CD-Rs or CD-RWs, experiment with different brands of discs

If a commercial disc won’t play, check for scratches, fingerprints or other physical damage. Try the CD in another player. If it still won’t play, there may be a problem with the disc

Reset the system by disconnecting the power cord from the wall for one minute, then plug the system back in

DVD unit doesn't read CDs but works fine with DVDs

Sir: Did you try another CD or just 1 CD could not read by your DVD RW? Would you please make the DVD poped out and re-set it again. It seems the problem of communication becasue the code rate of DVD and CD is different. Its not related with the lens.
