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 don't know if mine does this with the same frequency. I just open the drawer, reseat the cd and usually it will play again. I've heard that the transport on these isn't the highest quality and it mistracks....You should probably call Steve Bednar at BAT if the problem persists.

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..

Hi,
I've had the same problem with my VK-D5SE and it was a quick fix to open the tray and close it again. Then I noticed that the circle slot on the tray is a little bit bigger than actual CD disc. Later on I found that if I place a disc more forward ( toward the inside), I've never got an error again. This way was working with Sonic Frontiers SFCD-1 as well.

Please let me know the result.

Ted
