Marantz 8260 CD/SACD

Well, it may have fixed your problem but my player does sound dramtically better when left on. Turning it on and off makes for a mighty long warm up period. Hopefully this is not the case for your player..

I've heard NOT to use those cleaning CD's. The article I read said they may knok the laser out of alignment. Has anyone experienced that?

I know people who use cleaning cds on 8260 without problems. if the cleaning CD will send the laser out of allignment, what would happen to this unit during shipment?

I bought a Maxell CD lens cleaner yesterday. But I don't know if I need to use it. The player seems to be working perfectly now, even when I leave it on. I'm perplexed by this whole thing.

I want to get the Sony modded and give it a try. But the wife isn't going to let me keep two players and I'd hate to sell the Marantz and have the next person have trouble. I may send it in to Marantz, just to get a clean bill of health before selling it.

send it. they may upgrade software or whatever it is they do, to bring it up to date
