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.

When you use the SACD, click CD Layer on remote and cycle through until you get SACD 2 channel. By default, I believe it goes to SACD Multichannel. By playing it in multichannel, you are missing a lot of information, hence the lousy sound. I had the same problem with my Esoteric UX3 SACD player.  You may want to go through the menu because after you did the reset, everything defaulted back to original.
