Cambridge Audio 840-C cd- problems


Hi all, I have a Cambridge Audio 840-C c-d player. It is around 4 years old. Am having problems with it recently. Sometimes it will not read a c-d right away, a message says "no play" but after trying it a few times It will work. (These are not burned c-d's) But then while playing for a while, the audio will stop, and then start again, exactly where it left off. Does not skip or jump ahead as sometimes happens with a bad c-d, or dirty lens. While the audio is blank, which only lasts about 2-3 seconds, you can hear the laser mechanism making the sound it would make if you where to, for instance, change tracks, or when you first put in a c-d.
Any ideas what might be the cause of this? Where I might send it for repairs? Is it worth fixing. Thanks so much

I think the 840C may be worth repairing and keeping. Give Audio Plus Services a call and contact Michel Rousseau. They are the US distributor of CA and authorized repair center. My experiences with them have been positive with great communication and reasonable repair costs and turn around time.

Even if you do not decide to go the repair route, as mentioned, the onboard DAC is worth still using in some cpacity.
