This Sony CDP-C335 is just a few millimeters away from working properly.
When the 5 disk carousel rotates the CD into place, the clamping mechanism
closes but the metal pin in the clamping mechanism which is supposed to line
up with the hole in the carousel is not lining up properly. It either makes
a loud snapping noise as the pin forces its way through the hole in the
carousel or the clamping mechanism jams completely as it cannot force its
way into place since the alignment between the two is off. The belt in the
carousel mechanism has good tension and is not slipping. Anyone seen this
problem before?

Thanks for your reply.
