Hi

In my V70 02 T l found a dealer inst Volvo 10 CD disc changer in the back. The sound system happens to better then my 05 S80 by far. On the radio there is no place to insert a CD, and it only can be loaded into the 10 CD cassette in the back.

Sometimes while driving l hear the CD skipping( maybe 3/4 sec's)but most of the
time it's perfect.

How can l check to see if it's the CD or the radio?

Also what else is upgraded when this option is installed. Keep in mind that this was done before del and l have a Volvo extended Warranty.

Thanks

Alan

The track would jump / skip a few seconds if you run over a bump (at a certain speed) or rolling on the speed-strips. But if the road is clear and unlevelled, then it is not normal.

Hi

I finally figured it out that it was the Disc.

Thanks

The Disc (itself)...?

Could you please elaborate?
(The disc surface was uneven? Got stickers on it, etc?)

I have a HU-801 on my S80 with a 10 disc CD changer.

It skips occasionally.
Burning CD's at high speeds contributes to this.

Try burn CDs at slower speeds like 4x or less.

I found it was not always the bumps.

When I converted MP3 into CD compliant, I found that the first 10-12 tracks plays flawlessly but starts to skip towards the end of the CD.

Also when compiling single songs to fit a CD-R (not converting from MP3) it occasionally skips at the same spot when I use the external CD burner. An expert tells me that external burners via USB connection is not 100% realiable and may contribute to skipping.

Having said that ....uncopied CD's play flawlessly.

Thanks for the tip

Alan
