Should I turn my CD player off when I am finished for the day


I read here to remove a cd once finished playing as the laser is still on if a disc is still there. My cd payer says no disc when I am done. Does that mean the laser is still on, in which case should I power off to save the laser?

If by “No Disc”, you’re saying you might have a Jays Transport, I posed this same question to Alvin at Jays.  He said, “Take the CD out, close the cover, but leave the transport on”.

turn the frigging thing off.

system on, diddle with something else for 20 minutes, good to go.

I’ve never turned any of my CDPs off unless I was going on vacation or there was a severe thunderstorm.  This applied to all my non-tubed electronics, as well.
