Problems with Cary 303-200

I purchased a Cary 303-200 about 2 months ago and have had problems with skipping on some discs. If I play the disc again it usually doesn't skip. But this occurs on about every third disc I play and seems to be increasing in frequency. Has any body else experienced this problem?

Check out the ad for a cary cdp posted on 2/24 by hifimatt - the description of the unit comments on this. I have been wondering whether this malfunction is common.

I bought a used 303/200 that was skipping. The transport was bad and had to be replaced.

I had the same problem. I called Cary and they replaced the cdp.
Cary took great care of me on this deal!

I had both a used 303/100 and a new 303/200 that both skipped. cary uses the cheap, problematic Philips CDM12 transport which is a real piece of junk. You'd think that this price point, they'd use something more reliable. Anyway, check out my thread on AA at:
