Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems

I have also received my Capitole MK2 and have tried 4 different kinds of cdr's and it played ALL of them! In fact it even played the ones I made with the cheapest CDR blanks you can buy. I bought 100 blanks from CDW computers and the blanks look just like the Sony playstation cd game disks, they are solid BLACK on the laser side!!!!

The one time (out of 100) that the player failed to read all the cd tracks, I had to open and close the cd door so that it would reinitiallize the reading of the TOC and then it was fine and has been ever since.

Sattothestars: I haven't checked the chip yet, but more and more I feel I may not have the latest software. I will do this when I can stop listening. She's breaking in...

Geryn.There is one cd I have used that will tell you wether or not you have the NEW chip.It is the accoustic version of Sting(latest cd).If when the tracks switch and you hear a slight dropout between tracks,you have the old chip.If not,it is the new one.This will let you know without removing the cover.

Sattotthestars: Your post is interesting...Are you referring to the Sting album "All this time", the live album?

I own it and will try it. Why would this CD tell me whether or not I have the new or old chip? Thanks. Please tell me more...thanks

i think the 50 milli-second gap between tracks problem has been fixed with the new chip. When you played a CD where there was no blanks between tracks, the old chip used to put one automatically. From what i understand, this is now gone.....which is a good thing if its true on all discs, and not only sting :)
