Just to reiterate on the basis of long experience (my own and other audiophiles, and dealers I've known too):
On the evidence offered in the OP, one MUST start with the CD Player itself, NOT the discs. Try the cleaning disc aforementioned etc.
Simplest check if it is the CD? Try another player.... you already have and it indicated the original player is faulty. If that isn't enough (!), get a new copy of one of the problem discs. If that doesn't play either - there's your answer.
AFAIK, no Audiophile CD cleaner currently on the market is an abrasive (I would keep away from others that offer a "polishing" system). Nor are they costly. RA Reveel is £14.50 per pack. But as I said the discs almost certainly aren't the problem here. You'd probably be wasting time and energy following that path, even if you got one to play after a clean (that can sometimes happen even with a faulty player).
I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what has become of Katzelmacher.....hope they are not in the kitchen scrubbing away at CDs...
