Audio aero capitole mk2 need help repairing

Dear: friends,

I have owned this great mk2 cdp for years, recently problem starts to appears, it switches off by itself and turns back on again while playing, and this switching on and off wont stop untill i have to power down the unit and let it rest for a few seconds before turning the power on again. However, this happens in sequence like after a few minute again while playing. It keeps on switching on and off by itself while playing.

I really love this aero, one of the best, most intimate, detail and warm digital player, and it is hard for me to find a replacement, so i would kindly seek help on similar problem and resolution to repair this...

Pls help...thanks alot and I would appreciate any advice....

Dear Perryg

I am very sure that there is a voltage regulator problem in your area, as mine was doing the same, try hook up an avr and see how the avr says about your power line..(if you mentioned, this has been the problem since the unit was brand new).. or I am very sure Mr. Peter is able to help you.. :)

Dear jafant

Mine is perfectly in good Shape now, after I installed an AVR to stabilise the voltage. Another thing, i once forgot to switch it off after a listening session and it had been at stand by mode (no disc display ) for almost 4 days, i just found out That I did not shut it off at the end of my last listening session, just when i was about to listen to it again. Then, I Quickly turned it off and was afraid that it may had been spoiled ( the top chasis was sizling hot). However, on the contrary, since that occurrence, my AA has Never shut off by itself.

I am not a tech Kind of person, and i may not Know the correlation between the 4days burning method and how it is now back to normal again, or May be it is the AVR which Solved the problem, but i thought I just Share With everyone what i really experience..

Anyway, Thanks alot for all responses and enthusiasm on this topic...

Have a good weekend..everyone..

Best regards
Jon
