I had a CD-X2 which was repaired =twice= for the same mistrakcing problem.
Finally I said enough is enough. Give it up ... for less than the cost
of another repair you can get a modern player which will out-perform it
in most any way. I gave it away for free to a CD-less friend, and never
looked back.

Over the years people here have commented that Yamaha CD players
often have tracking problems. One found mistracking on every Yamaha
player on a dealer's shelf. It says something.
