Marantz SA10 sacd player


I love this  player , after 3 yrs and 2 months I purchase it. It doesn’t read single layer sacd. It’s out of waaranty.So United Radio marantz authorize won’t repair it. Is this a common issue on this expensive sacd player?

Sharri most of the service listed I called they reroute me to United Radio who will not repair out of warranty.Hopefully Deltronics or Stereo Rehab will be able to fix it. I will try to inquire when Iam no longer busy.Thank you.

The standard Marantz US warranty is 3 years from date of purchase for original owner. So you are totally out of warranty and will pay for all repair costs. It does not matter where you take your player. Any repair shop that repairs cd players should be able to diagnose and repair your player. Failure to read sacd layer is usually a laser output issue. This takes about 1 minute to check, if the technician knows Marantz procedures. As mentioned earlier, the laser traverse unit for the SA-10 is currently in stock and available from the Marantz parts supplier, Encompass Parts. The cost is $51. Shop time should not be more than the standard charge plus one hour labor time. Replacing the laser in these players is a simple procedure for a knowledgeable technician.

From you above post it seems that you live in the Chicago area. You should have no trouble finding a repair shop. If the shop needs a Service Manual for your player, I might be able to help out. It does not seem to be currently available from online suppliers, but that could change at any time as they have been available quite recently.

All the best.....

If you are close to Chicago-land area, Decibel Audio or Saturday Stereo Exchange may be of service as well. Let m know if Deltronics or Stereo Rehab helps.
