CD player vibration from CD's


I was changing a cd and noticed a strong vibration in my Oppo BD83SE cd player. I have had quite a few cd players and have never noticed this kind of vibration before. I found it was not caused by all cd's. With some, the majority, there is very little or no vibration. I am assuming the cd's in question are not round. Anyone else have this happen with your players? I am especially interested in Oppo Players but anyone feel free to chime in.

Over on Audio Asylum almost same question today..
The Cd can be slightly warped. Since the machine only grips a CD bt the center hole, and no support around the rest of the disc, if the center hole is not level with the rest of the disc, (warped) the disc will cause vibrations as it rotates.
The miracle here is that the lens has to be really really close to the Cd surface to read the disc, and follows the vibrating discs perfectly. Amazing!
So, if you do not want the discs to vibrate, toss the ones that do it.
Sometimes those aftermrket 'disc stabilizeers' help with this.
Also: here is a perfect 'oppo'rtunity for some tweak genius to make a device to flatten discs that vibrate.
Or, buy a Pioneer with the inverted 'stable platter' which supports the entire disc.
If you can track it down to certain cd's that are vibrating, try them in a different player, maybe it's the Oppo that is the problem. I'm not sure a slight warp would cause a vibration, it may be more likely an off center (out of balance) disc can cause a vibration, those discs can be cut to even them out. I only own several hundred cd's but have never seen this problem, good luck tracking it down.

I experienced it with a different player, a Denon DVD player which I soon returned to the retailer. Only happened with some CDs but the same CDs played fine in a couple other CD players I owned.
leatherneck why not do what i do with warped CDs. I put it under enormous amounts of heat and pressure. These conditions will form diamonds naturally.
