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

My BAT VK-D5 CD Player sometimes does not play a CD. I can listen to 9 CD's and all is okay. For the next CD played, the word 'err' to appears on the display. I can play the CD on another player with no problems. The next day, the same CD plays okay. What is wrong and how can I fix this? thanks..

I also open the drawer and it sometimes fixes the problem. Is this something that can be fixed by a local Retailer? I do not want to ship my unit back to BAT. Thanks..

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..
