Not sure if it's the same transport, or a simular one as used in earlier Theta Digital Carmen 2's and/or Compli's...but I have owned both of the above. Drawer is shallow, and all the mats I have tried do the same thing with cd's and dvd's. Neither of the 2 Theta transports previously mentioned are blu-ray players, but I mention this only because I believe that Theta sourced, (then modified), it's drawer mechanisms from Oppo. At least in the last 6 or 7 years, or so I understand. Somebody please set things straight for the record if this is incorrect...but I never had any issues with earlier Theta Digital cd only transports (Basic and Basic 2), but my Carmen 2 and my Compli both prevent the use of mats and get jammed up, make noise, and generally cause all sorts of hell. Contact Theta Digital in Los Angeles and see what they have to say. Just thought I'de share. Good luck to you Tropicalpests.
