This is the note that I sent in with the repair.
- When the unit is first turned on the drawer won’t open and the display won’t go through the usual cycling routine. The display just reads “Disc”.
- It takes between 5 and 10 minutes and can take as long as 20 minutes before the drawer will finally open. During this time the display still reads “Disc”.
- Once the drawer is open I can put a cd in, press play and every thing works fine, but the display still reads “Disc”.
- If I turn the unit off and turn it back on a couple of seconds later the same thing happens. The drawer won’t open and the display just reads “Disc” and it takes a few minutes for the drawer to finally open. This happens when I press the open/close button on the remote or the cd player.
It got to the point where the drawer wouldn't open at all. The laser had to be replaced plus a couple of other parts (which they had), but they also had to replace a pc board which was unavailable.
I'm pretty sure I could have used the unit as a dac, but then I would have to buy a decent transport, digital cable and power cord and find a spot on my rack (which had no empty spaces) to put it on. I just felt it was time for a new player.
