Lamarons, I'd be thrilled to pay $200 if it would fix the problem. I'm fairly frustrated with the whole thing. I sent mine back for repair. I received a call today saying, "It's not the players, it's your CD recorder that has the problem." I'm not too proud to accept that it may be a problem on my end, however, I have burned CD's with a TASCAM recorder, a TOSHIBA recorder, and the DELL recorder in my laptop and the ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. American Audio is simply sending my players back to me with no repair and no clue as to what the problem is. I will be shopping for new players and I'll keep these PS2's as expensive back ups. I'm losing my confidence in American Audio. When I first got these PS2's, one had to go back a week later due to an overheating problem. It was fixed at no charge. Then, a year later I had one go back for a problem with the RCA connection in the back. Now, it would appear I cannot play anything but factory pressed CD in them. I'm trying very hard to run a business here - I have to deal with the expense and time of marketing my business, booking appointments, maintaining equipment... the last thing I need is to have to make MORE investments in CD players or additional CD burners (which will probably produce the same results). I refuse to go on jobs with my reputation on the line and a client that has paid me top dollar to have a CD player mangle the opening dance for a bride and groom. Unacceptable. I'd be fine with investing in a $1000 high-end burner if I knew for sure it would fix the problem. However, my TASCAM was nearly $1000 when I purchased it - it only burns at 1x, and I've still had trouble with the CD's coming out of there. I just wish I could find the SOLUTION to the problem, rather than the "it's your problem" I seem to be getting from American Audio.
