Given that the CD6000 is capable of reading the much lower

The same thought had occured to me.

Having said this (and it may not be good news), I had a problem with
my CD6000 OSE skipping, mainly on CDRs, but occasionally on pressed
discs.

Fortunately it was under warranty at the time. I seem to recall it
needed a new laser and also an official "mod" - an extra capacitor
added in, or possibly a change of capacitor value; can't remember
which
I wonder if it's a glitch suffered by older models which has been
cured in later versions. I have no idea of the age of this one, but I
would have thought the design wuld have settled down by the time they
decided to do a KI version.

If you know what you are doing, it might be worth cleaning the lens on
the laser
I can't really say I do know what I'm doing, but that sounds like a
good idea. I quite like poking around inside machines, I've got
cotton buds, I've got isopropanol - what could possibly go wrong?
