[slinkelist] Disappearing Disks

[Ron Tugender]

Mike,

I was having the identical problem with my CX-270.  If your problem is like
mine, though jumping through a few hoops (e.g., power-cycling the 270,
opening the access door and forcing it to re-inventory the carousel) will
seem to restore the "lost" disks, eventually disks will start to disappear
again, sometimes the same, often different ones.

I just brought my CX-270 back from a Sony repair center with that symptom at
the top of the problem list.  The center replaced the "C-board", the
"motherboard" for the CX-270, about the most radical repair that can be done
to a 270's electronics.  It's been back for a few days now and I haven't
seen a disk disappear since, longer than it would have taken to have one
disappear before.  As a side benefit, the 270 now appears to happily accept
the loading of memo information from CDJ, something it would do only
fitfully before.

The flat rate for a CX-270 repair is $99.00 at a Sony repair center.  You
might consider this, as the 270 appears to degrade in ways that bring about
these symptoms.

Cheers,
Ron

Periodically disks seem to "disappear" from my player/CDJ. They are loaded
physically in the changer but they go away and the CDJ library shows a "?"
in the disk location. If I rescan the changer they come back, although
sometimes a power cycle on the changer is required. Any thoughts? My changer
is a CX-270. Sometimes the disk even disappears while its playing.

Mike
