Krell SACD Standard problem

Hi, I bought a Krell SACD standard about a year ago. Very happy with its performance BUT over the past few days, during disc playback, music suddenly stops and I get a flashing "DISC" sign on the display. Tried the Burt Simpson solution of switching it off and then back on but after a while.. same problem. Help please....I am not very happy as I am located in Greece and it would be a pain to ship this thing to the States for service work plus I have paid about double what people in the States are paying to get hold of this piece of mac(rap)hinery.

Thanks for the remarks. Does the verdict change if I said that Krell SACD plays redbook CDs non-stop, while the problem appears with SACD playback only?

No and that too will change. Tom

I too had a similar problem with the SACD Standard. The drive mechanism is the cause and Krell will replace it at no cost to you, no problem - if your unit is under warranty, it should be... having said that I hope it was a authorized dealer that sold it to you!!!!!

Dont loose faith yet, I can tell you you'll be very happy once the drive mechanism is all sorted out :-)

OK, I have taken it to the serviceman,he replaced the drive....and after I have used it a couple of times, same problem came up. What do I do? I am really upset with this.
