PS Audio LAMBDA II Transport

I bought this used unit 5 month ago. It had no problem until recently. It't very picky. It simply doesn't read most of my CDs. The display shows "ERROR". When it plays, It also skips first few seconds. Please help. Thanks.

I also experienced trouble with the transport not reading some cds. The trouble with my transport was the laser needed to be realigned. You can go to www.psaudio.com for support. I believe they can help you. I have had a number of PS Audio products over the years and found them very easy to work with.Good luck.

I sent it in for repair. It took PS Audio a pretty long time to get back with me on it but they did fix it. There were several problems with it. The logic board for the transport mechanism and also the alignment. It is my understanding that this as a common problem with these units. Good luck!

Does any one have any other advise?
