My brand new MDR535 makes a couple of clicking noises when it is 1st turned on. Is this normal? It sounds like it is seaking a disc but I never had a DVD/CD player do this.

Yes it is normal. I have another recording DVD machine and they both make that noise. Compared to regular DVD players, they are also a lot slower in initializing and being ready to play a DVD

Yes, mine does this too. I just paid attention to the start up noises. There are two "clicks" followed by one "click". They are the same noises as when the DVD tray is closed.

If it's seeking a disk, switch to HDD (hard drive disk) rather than DVD and see what happens. If you want to use a re-recordable DVD it must be a DVD+RW, not a DVD-RW.

Mine cleans on Track 2, not 3. Maybe we are talking about different products. A CD player with no play button? How do you play anything?

What sources do you have it connected to (cable box, blu ray player, av receiver, etc)? Does this occur on each source? Has this occured starting when you first used the tv or is it new? Without knowing any other details ensure your cables (likely hdmi) are secured on both ends.

Mine is playing having the same problem intermittently. Some play and some don't. My husband, the engineer, suggests cleaning the lens that reads the disc, as over time it may become dirty. He would use rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip. We have not yet tried this, but if it works, it's a cheap solution.

Same issue here, but only seems to happen with Blu-ray discs. Never saw anyone else mention this in a review--here or elsewhere (cnet, pc magazine). Keep meaning to contact Sony because hopefully it's a defect that can be fixed. If not, it's a big ding on the quality. FYI, I rested the player's four feet on four thick pieces of padding to quiet the vibrations. Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts work quite well (but shouldn't be needed!).

It is most likely defective. Mine quit working within 30 days, sent it in for warranty service, got it back now it will play CD's Story well as DVD's

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly! I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before. If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

Came with ear-plug (small size listening device). Problem was not the ear-plug. Installed disc into the place, and closed lid, then making a scretching noise. Evidently the disc is hitting to body of the unit. I have tried several other discs and makes no difference. By the way, I have returned the unit and no replacement unit come to me yet.

I've never heard a loud whirring with my unit. The only time the disc makes noise is when it is first loading. If it is a home made DVD, the player makes lots of "searching" noises, but when it finally starts to play, it is very quiet. I'd say your friend has a defective unit.

Exact same thing just happened to me. I'm disappointed since there are so many great reviews, and this looks like a great CD player. But mine must be defective. Sending back to amazon today

To Camilla: I also noticed when I push the play/pause button it shows "no usb". So I push the play/pause button again and the same thing happens. Then I pushed the Mode button that didn't seem to help either. I also noticed it does not respond immediately when you press any button. When I open and close the CD holder it goes back to square one. So now I just keep pushing the play/pause button and sometimes it responds. I don't like this at all. When you read the instructions they are very confusing. I am thinking about returning mine. Hope this helps you decide if you want to keep it.

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.

I'm sorry ours has never done that. But I would just make sure the cd is clean, and then check the manufacturer's website or google it.

I just got my unit also about two weeks ago and notice a somewhat annoying creeking and clicking sound with every rotation. I have written to the sellers about this but have not received any reply. Will have to call to get an answer.

Yes...I'm hearing a "beeping" electronic sound too. I actually returned my frist Flip due to software errors and also this noise problem. I just got a new one in the mail and it's making the noise too. Not as loud as the other one, but it's still there....and very annoying! If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please reply. Thanks!!!!

Mine does not make any clicking noise. That definitely sounds like a defect to me.

Yes, the clicking noise seems to be a 'normal' thing. Mine has done it from the beginning. I was not as worried about it as several reviews I read before purchasing mentioned the same clicking noise. The noise has continued and the mixer works great. (I owned for 1 year). Soooo I guess it is to be expected -- ie 'normal'!
