Accuphase SACD DP-85 problem


I have a DP-85 SACD player recently developed "TOC Error" problem all the time. I have to turn on & off to try my luck repeatedly. The 1st time I play when powered up always work fine, however the 2nd cd will have such problem. What's the possible cause?
Any easy cleaning I can do?
Any technician can repair this?
Axiss Audio won't service it because I bought from Asia.
Thanks!

Normally this means that the alignment has gone out of whack, which can be fixed; or the optical pickup needs to be replaced because the laser is going south. My guess is that problems will start to get more severe.

If you could get the service manual, you may find the steps to call up the self-alignment processes built into the test mode. I am not familiar with Accuphase - who makes their optical pickups?

If it's just an alignment problem, it can be fixed. If the laser is going, it needs replacement. Both things can be done by a competent technician.
