I have an EMC-1 and although, I have not heard the player you have listed. I found the EMC-1 to be very tempermental. I was playing it on glass, big NO NO, so I switched it on to a wood table, much better in every way. Then I pulled off there feet and used racing cones #4, again a big improvement again. This CD player has to be the twickiest thing I have came across.
