CD player pauses spontaneously.
I have a Panasonic RP 91 CD/DVD player that I use only as a CD player. It sounds excellent. It will suddenly pause while playing a CD, wait about 15 seconds, and then resume playing in the correct place. This happens very randomly and does not seem to be disc specific nor at a particular place on the disc. Please note that during the pause, I can hear the transport searching for the correct place to start playing again. I think that it was damaged enroute to me because the packaging (non-original) was done very poorly. But what could the damage be and why is it only intermittent? I did not pay enough for this older player to make it worth seeking professional service. I am more curious to know what might be happening than anything else. Thank you!
