Esoteric K01X SACD player TRAY! error message


Hello, 
I just purchased a second hand Esoteric K01X SACD player.  It arrived today via ground shipping.  I unloaded it, powered it on, and it immediately displayed a flashing "TRAY!" message, which I assume is an error message, as the tray will not open.  Is this one of the dreaded tray problems that the Esoteric brand apparently has been reported to have on some forums?  Any ideas as to the fix?  (Fortunately, I can send it back to the previous owner, as a last case scenario, as it arrived flashing this message, but I would have preferred to at least listen to it.)
Thanks.

My pleasure. Perhaps the Alia Vox9SACD) has a codec or watermark issue?

Happy Listening!

2nd Note;

I can relate to your playback experience. A number of years ago, I auditioned the DV-60 model. To my ears, the SACD playback is superb. 
The CD playback suffered. I could not appreciate the sound  via those (3) filters. The presentation and sound were dark and veiled.
Completely opposite with SACD presentation and sound.  Odd.

Happy Listening!
