The Panasonic SC-HC39DB CD player may stop and start despite thorough cleaning due to several possible reasons:
1. Unsupported Disc Format – The inserted CD may not be in CD-DA or MP3 format, which the unit can play. 2. Scratched or Damaged Disc – Even if cleaned, scratches or damage can cause playback issues. 3. Lens Issues – If the lens is dirty or faulty, it may struggle to read the disc properly. 4. USB/Disc Errors – If using a USB device, the files may be corrupted, requiring formatting. 5. Unit Malfunction – Turning the unit off and on again may resolve temporary issues.
If the problem persists, further troubleshooting or service may be needed.
