BAT VK-D5 CD Player sometimes does not play a CD

My resolution cd 50 only plays the discs 1/2 the time. Then it says err or no disc. Very frustrating. Called resolution and they said it would cost $300 to fix. What would you guys do? I bought used.

The solution recommended above by Ted seems to work okay. I place the CD forward (a little) in the drawer and the tracking works. This is an example of very poor design by BAT (and others as described above). Thanks for this great suggestion. cheers...

My BAT VK-D5 CD Player 'stopped' reading CD's over the weekend. The word "err" appeared ever time I tried loading a new CD (changing the CD placement has no impact). I called BAT and they said I need a new transport assembly. It seems the transport is not covered by a warranty so my cost is $400 plus shipping. Since the unit is not working, I shipped it back to BAT. I sure hope the new transport solves this problem. Are others having this problem? thanks..

Would like to mention that there are formats that the D5 will not read (self recorded disc). The folks at BAT has always been very helpful and consider customer service a priority. Sorry to hear that you need to shell out so much $$$. While your unit is in the shop maybe you may want to consider upgrading the unit. I hear removing the HDCD is an improvement. Good Luck!

I believe the BAT (like the Cary and many others) uses a Phillips 12.4 transport - I've heard of and experienced MANY problems with this transport from disc error readings to skips, to sound droputs. You'd think for approx. $6k retail, BAT could source a more reliable transport such as the Sony CDM14. It's truly frustrating.
