Replace the burner. Believe it or not... They do go bad

Optical readers are funny things. Just because it's new doesn't mean that it isn't bad. They are very sensitve to bouncing or jarring around. It could be that when it was shipped from the manufacturer to the distributor, it was damaged. There really is no way to adjust the reader without doing more damage. If you just purchased it, take it back for a replacement. If not, they're fairly cheap nowadays, so it shouldn't bankrupt you to replace it. On average (for your information), they only last around 4,000-5,000 hours before they go bad.
