My TA-E9000ES sometimes took a while at the beg of a CD to get the lock, but never lost it within the CD.

My 950 seems to be a little unique anyway, in that if I switch DSP modes while playing a CD, the 950 permanently loses signal lock. I have to pause or stop and restart the CD before I get the lock back. (Only CDs, not DVDs.)

I guess I can hope that when I get the final low-hiss 950, maybe this will be improved too.

I just figured that others might have this particular CD too, and might be able to repeat what I've seen.
