Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems

Ive managed to read CDRs fine on my player. Have you tried different brands of CDRs ?

I know however that you will have less problems with CDRs that have been burned at 1x or 2x.

Cheers

IT is very simple to find out if you have the new chip or not.Remove the cover with an allen key.You will see a chip with an orange dot.If it has just the dot with no writing(it should say p2(in hand written ink) which is the new chip)) than you have the old chip.

Sattothestars: Thanks for your input. I thought I had the new chip since my player says: "READING CD". I guess maybe I don't. However, I have not had any other problems, other than its inability to read the CD-R's.

I have the new chip, but burned a CD-R at 1X and it will not play in the Capitole. According to Globe Marketing, it's because my CD burner (Marantz DR 6050) is not recording to the exact Red Book standard.

Did you physicaly check you had the P2 chip?I have received players that did and some that did not.The only way to know is to remove the cover and look.It is located inside toward the face of the cd player.It is a tight squeeze as the transport mechanism is only about half an inch away form the circuit board.
