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..

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..
Would like to mention that there are formats that the D5 will not read (self recorded disc). The folks at BAT has always been very helpful and consider customer service a priority. Sorry to hear that you need to shell out so much $$$. While your unit is in the shop maybe you may want to consider upgrading the unit. I hear removing the HDCD is an improvement. Good Luck!
I believe the BAT (like the Cary and many others) uses a Phillips 12.4 transport - I've heard of and experienced MANY problems with this transport from disc error readings to skips, to sound droputs. You'd think for approx. $6k retail, BAT could source a more reliable transport such as the Sony CDM14. It's truly frustrating.
