"Disc Cannot Be Played... Please Check The Disc"?
El-cheapo Panasonic.
Tried two discs. Same message.
Put both discs in another player (similar make/model), they played no problem.
Pulled the cover off, blew some air on the little laser thingie, then wiped it with a photographic lens cleaner.
Put it back together.... no-go.
I'm guessing this thing is toast.
Or is there some other simple procedure that I could try myself?

I don't know.
But if this is a boombox, I found it pretty easy to take out the dead CD player in a boombox I found waiting for the garbage truck last year, and it was easy to trace the audio lines and bring them out to jacks, giving me external inputs to use with a "Walkman-type" cd player, or for the now popular "MP3 player compatibility".

GET A Q TIP, MOISTEN WITH ALCOHOL, AND GENTLY CLEAN THE LENS (oops, just realised caps lock slipped on!) Anyway where was I.... try the above, BTW, is there any disc rotation ?
-B.
I'm taking it that this is a DVD player rather than a CD player, as that error message is usually associated with their DVDs. It normally indicates a defective laser. Try playing a CD in it. If that plays OK, then you can be pretty sure that the laser is bad on its DVD side of things. Cleaning is unlikely to help, as DVD laser lenses tend not to get dusty due to the self-cleaning effect that the wind created at the disc surface by its high rotational speed, has. Exceptions to this are where it's not been used for a long time, building work has been going on in the house, or it lives in a very smoky atmosphere.

problem.
wiped it
Try goggling the model number and/or error message, if it's a common problem it may be on a website. Bought a Cyberhome that went bad after they went belly up. Found a website with detailed instructions and pictures. Bad caps in it's power supply lowers voltage that keeps the drive from reading the discs.
Fixed an Emerson that couldn't read discs by pushing a ribbon cable into it's socket. Sometimes you can get lucky just by looking and smelling around.
