I have contacted Classe, and they confirmed that the unit is not compatible with non red book cds, because its not an industry standart apparently.
They believe it is mostly likely the discs that is the cause, however I was quoted an approximate price of $500 for the replacement of the mechanism, which I thought was interesting since the last repair bill about $120 for the laser pickup replacement.
Of course their labour rate went up which I can understand but my thoughts are the 90 warrenty period after the repair is just a bit short...
Red Book CDs are the industry standard and carry the compact disc logo. Newer CDs with copy protection are not Red Book.
Cheers,
