Hello Graham
If Susan is playing commercial music CDs, then how would copy protection
affect the playback? Music used to be protected by anti-copy devices like
SCMS (sscums) which prevented or degraded copies on CD copying machines
and
DATs, but this never affected playback. Is there a new scheme you are
aware
of that might?
Regards
Tony

Hi. This could be the problem but I wonder if some of the CDs you are
trying to play are copy protected? Will they play on your PC?
Regards

Hello Susan
Commercial CDs are usually pressed - low-volume CDs are 'burnt' by using
a
low-power laser to penetrate a dye-layer. I've known many instances where
burnt CDs play on some players and not on others, probably due to
manufacturing differences in batches of CDs.
However, I've never come across a situation where stamped CDs will
sometimes
play, sometimes not, on a piece of kit. It sounds a bit worrying on a new
machine - suggest you get a replacement as it sounds as though the laser
head assembly is on the edge of specification.
