Apparently, CD players by Philips and Grundig from different sizes have similar internal components. I have noticed that when fast-forwarding/rewinding (while not paused) and when playing a somewhat damaged audio CD, this sometimes happens when the laser stumbles upon a scratch: * No more sound * Disc rotation accelerates for ~ 1 second until approximately 150% of the original speed * Note: When this happens during fast forward/rewinding, then this can be aborted by releasing the fast forward/rewind button during that second, and playback continues right away. * Disc engine stops acceleration and disc rotation coasts (decelerates) * ~ Two seconds later, the engine starts accelerating the disc to normal linear velocity while the laser tries to seek its last position. I wonder why the laser does not **immediately** try to seek the last position. I know, it is somewhat trivial, but I just shared it here so one can maybe explain it or share a similar experience they had.
