Problems with video and other things...

I recently bought my Cd-i system off Ebay I was very excited about finally owning one. It is a Magnavox 450 model. I also got a "Link: The Faces of Evil", "Zelda: Wand of Gamelon", and "Zelda's Adventure". The games are in perfect condition not a scratch, fingureprint, or anything of that sort.
First thing I noticed was that the system said that I had 100% of its memory used already, but there wasn't any saved data. Later it went back to 0%, but still I thought that was odd.
Next, I put in "Wand of Gamelon", the game started up fine, but I noticed there was no music on the title screen, or the map. I selected new game, and it gave me a "Please clean your disk" error. The game ran just fine than, but whenever I trigered a cutsecene animation I got the error message. Eventually I got an error for loading a level, and I turned it off.
Than, I tried "Faces of Evil". Same thing, I can play the game, but the cutsecene animation gives me an error, and there was no music on the title screen, or the map. I was confused at why both games would do that. I took the disk out and looked at both. Both were in perfect condition and cleaning didn't do anything.
I went to try "Zelda's Adventure", but the system wouldn't even go to the systems screen, where you can select the options! I took the game out, and unpluged and repluged everything. I tried to turn the system on without the game, nothing again, just a black screen. I unplugged and replugged several times also.
Finally, I unplugged everything again waited 5 minutes, and repluged and I got the system to go to it's main screen. I then loaded "Zelda's adventure" in, and the system got to the title screen. I selected new game, and the screen went black and never did anything.
I than, tried all the games again several times, and I got the same thing evertime. "Faces of Evil" and "Wand of Gamelon" play fine, but I get a "Please clean your disk" error evertime a cutsence comes up. And Zelda's Adventure never makes it past the title screen.
Please help me. Is the system bad? If so can I fix it, or do I have to send it back and buy a different one?
Thank you,
