Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby?

Sericolo,

Another question.

I have accessed Aging Mode per your directions above. TB1 is which laser? I would then presume TB2 would be the other.

There is also a T21 and a T22. What are they? I presume the numbers are hours.

How did you find the number of player hours ON?

Thanks, Steve

Hi,
The total time is from when I first turned it on OCT 1 2020. 
 https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?d1=01&m1=10&y1=2020&d2=16&m2=3&y2=2022&ti=on

Then I just subtracted two events, once when I forgot to set repeat (-7h) and once when I tested the sound after a cooldown. (-23h)
TB1=CD,  TB2=SACD(DVD)
T21 and T22 is Laser check mode. (for laser adjustments)

The service manual from:  https://www.service-manual.net/?download=69238-marantz-sa12-fn-sa-ki-ruby-series-service-manual 

How many laser hours do you have?

Thanks so much for all of this. I now have the Service Manual.

I have had my player since August 2020. I only play discs. I have about 2000 hours on each laser. Now I can keep track of this, which is good.

I live in Australia and have a full 4 year warranty on everything in the player. With players, the only real worry is the laser unit.

The laser will most likely last a long time. A laser life is normally between 25000 and 50000 hours, that’s what I have read.

Also, the laser can be adjusted if there is a problem.

With the service manual as an "instructor" there are no worries.

Spare parts for DIY.

or call your local Marantz service center for parts availability and price.

The electrolytic capacitors will not last forever, either.

I’m looking forward to putting even higher quality Elna in my Ruby when the sound starts to degrade.
