The loading is common with that player. If it works, just live with it for now. Are you hooked on a MEGA or does it really matter? If not and you can live without one, there are a lot of good stand alone CD players out there or you can do a little upgrading and get a great DVD player and CD player in one box.................but you will not get any MEGA recommendations from me. Sorry, I'm just not a fan. I don't trust em and I have yet to see one running anything in the way of guts I would own. If you could live with a 5 disc there are a few out there from Denon, HK and some others that will work.......or you could get the Denon 3910 and be in heaven !
