My 596 seems to be extremely sensitive when it comes to playing CD's. If it's not a perfectly new CD it jumps all over the place. No problem with DVD's tho.

Any suggestions about what I could do about it (apart from changing all 300 of my CD's)?

Rgds,

apart from the suggestion above, speak to the mothership as your CD drive is probably about to go t*ts up. Has probably happened to everyone on here with a 59x player.

Rgds,
Nick

Never happened to me...YET! Knock on wood!

I had a 596 for a few years and then a 598 now for a few years. My players never run very hot though. My rack is open with enough ventilation to keep things cool.

I had a 500 transport once that did the same and Meridian tweaked the laser gain and lubed the laser mechanism to fix it.
