Re: CDJ not recognizing moved discs...

I just got to experience this when I added a CX220 to my CX240.

I moved a bunch of CDs down to the new player. I figured that
this would be no problem since CDJ knew those slots were empty.
I also "shifted" a bunch of CDs within the existing player.

It was a really weird experience. CDJ would appear to
"look" in the appropriate spots but I got inconsistent results.
There were cases where it would "find" one CD but not another
one in a spot next to it (in the new player).

I kept repeating the searches. Sometimes it would get stuck in
loop (over a hundred passes before I gave up) where the players
weren't moving but CDJ kept claiming it was doing passes.

One of the weird cases where I was down to one CD that it would not
find. I tried telling explictly to search the slot. I tried a different
slot. I think I finally got it to work by exiting CDJ and having it
search the slots that it thought where empty. It took several passes
but it eventually located it.

It would seem to me that CDJ doesn't bother rechecking the IDs if it
thinks a slot has a CD and the player reports there is a CD in the
same slot. This makes some sense, keeps things moving quickly.
On the other hand it would be nice if I told CDJ to look in a slot
then it should verify the CD.

I am also guessing that if CDJ sees a CD "move" (a known CD appears in
another slot/player) it declares the old slot "empty" except I suspect
the update doesn't always propagate correctly, that's why starting
CDJ from start appears to help things.

BTW Colby I experienced the slink-e not responding a lot. Is the
upgrade available yet?

My current configuration has the CX240 and CX220 daisy chained together
and plugged into the first port on the slink-e. The rest of my setup,
STR-815G, CDP-CE515, TC-WE626 were plugged into the second slink-e port.
The 815G also has the Sony TV and VCR plugged into it.
