I bought a DCD-Pro210 Cd player at the beginning of November and it is having some serious problems. From the beginning it had difficulty reading any cds, including brand new retail cds. Sometimes the deck will take a couple minutes before it will read the cd and be ready to play. Other times it will just say no disc even if there is a disc loaded properly in the drive. The unit seems to be faulty, it does this more so with the left unit then the right, but both units have done it. The cd player is mounted in an SKB 8 over 4 case with the cd drives on the bottom of the 4 units level, and the control unit is mounted above my mixer in the 8 unit space on top. Changing the angle on the drive does not seem to effect if it will read or not and removing it from the case does not effect it either. I have checked the cables and all are in securely and have no broken pins, switching the control cables so that the left control is on the right deck and visa versa results in the problem switching display units (ie the error reading is still on the same drive). What is the matter with this thing?
