260.0. "Stuttering SONY's" by XENON::MUNYAN () Tue Jan 21 1986 00:19

Has anyone noticed a stuttering problem with SONY players in the first few
minutes of a disk once the machine warms up (eg: after 2-3 hours).

I just purchased a SONY 620ES and have found this quite annoying.  I plan
on returning it (hopefully for a new machine since I've had it for less
than a week) but am curious if anyone else has noticed this problem.

whatsoever

Yes, but on an (now ancient) CDP-101 and I have only noticed it on two
particular CD's.

Yes, I've noticed it on my Sony ??? (about 1.5 years old).  Usually, I fix
it by opening the drawer and re-seating the disk.  Don't know why this
works, though.

Last nite I decided to play around a bit and think I found the problem.
I noticed that when I slid the restraining bracket away from CD assembly,
I didn't quite get it all the way over.  As a result when the unit heated
up, the restraining bar or something was expanding and barely touching the
restaining system.  Since I fixed this, the unit hasn't skipped.

MY CDP-201 Which I got in Dec 83, had the same symptoms. I like to tinker,
since I used to work at an audio mfg, so I lloked and found that the disk
was actually slipping on the center hub, therefore causing the stutter. I
cleaned off the hub with alcohol and it has worked fine since.

I dunno, maybe it was luck.
