Again on Philips CD670 and the CDM/2 cd transport


During the last year BOTH my Philips CD670 cd players have began to express annoying symptoms:
  • randomly unable to read the TOC even with CDs that yesterday successfully played many times;
  • randomly stopping playing with "error" message on the display (mainly when playing your preferred piece of music of your preferred cd...), even with CDs that yesterday played ok many hours;
  • being very very very sensitive to mechanical shocks (I was attempted to use them as earthquake warning tools ...). Even a strong "bass" tune could lead to  the "error" condition as well as my son just walking by in front of it - the cat didn't have the same effect, however...).
