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....

I used to have similar problem unit would not unmute from time to time when turning on. I spent literally years going from one workshow to another. Finally I have found skillful electronic who spent days measuring it and has found about seven cold solder joints. No more issues since then. I would never guess that cold joint could cause such undeterministic behavior.

Thanks! for sharing. Yes, a cold or poor solder joint can offset any player.

Hi,
I hope this forum group is still operational. I have Audio Aero Capitole MkII for many years. Last month I haven't listened to it for a while and when I turned it on again, "MUTE" appeared on my display. The CD reads normally, all other functions work as well, but there is no sound on the output (and “MUTE” appears on the display). I also turned it off and on several times, checked (disconnected and plugged in) the internal connecting cables, but it’s still the same. Has anyone ever had the same problem? I guess it's some small mistake. What are you suggesting?
Best regards, Sam

Hello,  I have an audio aero which says no disc even  if there is a disc.  I replaced the chinka module which Peter at PNB suggested and it worked for a year.  I bought an extra chinka module.  Any suggestions .  Thank you.   1/10/2021.
