Prolonged use of PAUSE on a CD player


Is it bad for a CD player to be paused for very long?

Good question.

I've come home from work to find that I'd accidentally left my transport on pause all day. It worries me when I realize I've done that, but so far my Theta Pearl has been bulletproof and never even gives me a hiccup. Ever.

I do this with my Tivo all the time leaving people frozen on screen in odd expressions. Of course the TV is off, but Tivo is a hard drive system, not a CD mechanism so that may be a different animal all together. I've done this with my DVD player too, but that thing releases PAUSE and goes into what Pioneer calls its RESUME mode.

I'm wondering if my practice of continually freezing time is a bad practice universally or might just vary with certain mechanisms or technologies. What would Einstein or Hawking have to say, heheh? Maybe there's just a massive amount of matter/energy in my listening room affecting space/time caused by the limitless amount of dirty laundry present.

Help!
