[slinkelist] Disappearing Disks

[Bill Reid]

I had this happen with my 270 player.  It started out happening once in a
while and then got steadily worse.  Until, one day after a repower, the
player could see all the disks, then when asked toplay would one by one
eliminate all the disks from the player.  It turned out to be a problem with
the read mechanism which was replaced under warrenty.  Since then it has
been fine.

Well almost fine...  recently it started to have disks that are outside of
the carosel beside the loaded mechanism in the back.  It has done this twice
in the last month and jammed the whole unit.  Is this another warrenty job?
