1275.0. "CD doesn't cue/scan properly?" by SUBSYS::GLORIOSO () Wed Jul 20 1988 16:11

    I Just got Midnight Oil - Red Sails on the Sunset and it has a very
    strange tracking problem.    First, it takes a very long time to
    cue up any track.   The player sounds like it's lost and keeps
    overshooting it destination.  Usually, after 20 - 30 sec it finally
    starts playing, but it doesn't always start at time 0:00 of the
    track.   Most of the time it backs up to the previous track and
    play anywhere from the last 5 - 50sec before continuing on to the
    selected track.   Also, when I use the audible forward scan, it
    starts to scan froward and then jumps backwards in large inconsitant
    increments.   It's really strange!!   I've never seen anything like this
    with any of my other discs.   It's a brand new disc, it's not
    scratched, it's not dirty.   Seems like there are some errors in
    the tracking code that's read when it boots up.   I'm going to try
    it on another player.   I'll post my findings.
    
    	By the way...it does play fine, all of the way through  once it
    finds the first track.  
    
        Has anyone had similar problems with this disc or others?
