The problem with the Marantz is likely dust on the lens. You can buy a
cleaner disc which has a row of small bristles on the playing side. An
aerosol duster blown on the lens when it is exposed also works.

The problem with the Marantz is not dust on the lens but rather
the fact that it's a Marantz. Best to visit your local charity shop
and get a Sony for twenty quid (or another reputable brand.)

There is still a place for a dedicated CD player. It will play within
a couple of seconds of switching it on and you don't need a TV to see
what it's doing.
