Hi there, On my Beosound 5 / Beomaster 5 when playing a CD it goes on "pause" after a track. This happens not on every CD. Has anybody got the same experience? Are there things to set? Thanks in advance for helping me out, greetz, Joris (thanks Guy for tip on changing subjects title)

Hello Joris, Sorry cannot help you here - I don't own a CD drive for the BS5. Hope others can. Regards, Johan

Hi Johan, It seems that I was not sufficient in my question: I meant actually that, when playing a CD from my music server (i.e. Beomaster5 HDD/SDD), some tracks are unintendedly going on PAUSE. Perhaps someone recognizes this? greetz, Joris

the most obvious reason I can imagen is: the music file format is transfered to another playable format. For example a DSF is transfered to a PCM format and the proces to do so is to slow. Or all music files are transfered to 24bit 96kHz and the proces of transfer is to slow.

Hi Carolpa, interesting theory! I will take a look at the fileformats to see if there are differences. Thanks you for your replying. Greetz, Joris
