thanks to Audiogon

Good evening. I’m still new to Audiogon and have yet to make any deals here but in the future I won’t hesitate to strike a good one up. I took delivery of a package this afternoon instead of taking a long drive I went ahead and trusted someone from *****’s list and may of gotten burned. I’m not naive but the guy sounded honest and all that, and it was’t a large transaction. Any more and a red light would of went on. Seller said low mileage and works perfectly which appears to be true its a solid 10 for looks, so is remote (in fact its still in plastic). A 10 in looks but a big fat 0 in performance its malfunctioning. Maybe its just a sign to say I’m starting to have too many Marantz disc player’s already. They do seem to be becoming a bit of an audio video weakness for me.

I would not of started a new topic to give thanks more that I was itching to ask if someone might have a loose diagnosis for symptoms. It powers up seeming like business as usual it accepts the shiny little disc then makes some usual subtle internal sounds after it closes announcing its wakening to do some work. instead of going to work the sounds pause then it suddenly spits the CD back out. Ive tried a few different ones, production wise and burns. Same result it spits them all back out.

I have a Marantz player that occasionally spits out discs when it's first powered up. In addition to the above suggestion to turn it off, wait a minute, and then turn it back on - here are some other things:

1. Close the drawer with the remote, and if it pops back out, use the button on the faceplate.

2. Push "Play" instead of Close on the remote. If that's what you were doing anyway, push Close first and then Play in rapid succession. 

3. Push the tray in with your hand (gently!) - about halfway in, the motor should take over and lock it in place

Once the disc stays in, the display should show the number of tracks, and the remaining time. 

These are tricks I use with the CD67 SE, which is an old model. Usually once you get it to work, it'll work fine from there out...until the next time.

I dont see it as "getting burned" as I have done very well on 2nd ownership audio during the past year. Im on vacation ill try some of those suggestions when I return. Much appreciated.

I'm calling out this poster. He's new, has a weird problem, "low mileage"?........"on vacation and can't respond"? Sorry but this all sounds bogus to me. It's amazing what people will do on the internet.

I was simply not able to try any of the troubleshooting methods suggested above simply because I dont often bring my audio gear with me when I go away. Surely not stuff thats unusable, falconquest.  I felt my post was descriptive and that adding more detail was unnecessary. 

You also misquoted me so partial thanks go out for that bit too (sarcastic context).

My original thanks in there sincerity were for another purchaseing option, and a better one at that.

To update it seems "ok" now. After unplugging it It was on for over a day before I had a chance to use it. Maybe it only does this when its cold. I've had intermittent things happen in the past that would only act up while cold, or after coming up to temperature or being placed to close to another heat source.
