FWIW: last night had a no-disc offender. Tried maybe 20-30 times to turn-off (stand-by and rear panel switch), press clear, open/close etc etc. No joy, so gave up and played a different disc. After that disc had finished, my frustration levels were back to OK, so I tried the previous disc.....it played first time. Until 3-4 weeks ago, this disc had been playing, as had all the others that have returned "no-disc", without any issue.

Can someone please explain why this issue would be so unpredictable ? If it were just the red-book debate vs BIOS etc, I'd expect it to play or not 100% of the time...not when it pleases itself !

Any ideas ?
