Problem with CD playing through...
I think this dates from 2006-2007 era, sounds like the laser is taking a hit. Here’s a couple relevant links, good luck: http://www.sa-cd.net/showthread/78207/78210 https://www.sa-cd.net/showthread/131116/131148 |
Cleaning laser should help. Some people had good results with tiny bit of mineral oil on the rails of the laser carriage. Be careful with it - just tiny amount. My CDP had Philips mechanism with magnetic clamp disk holding CD. This disk had felt on it, that got worn-out leaving gap (CDs wobble a little). Let us know. |
They are cheap for a new laser $30, and if you have some mechanical electronic ability you can do the job yourself in 1/2-1hr. Or get a new one ripped by the service guys for a couple of hundred dollars labor, and they’ll charge over $100 also for the laser. (they won't like the idea of you supplying the laser, as they can't make on that too) https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=MARANTZ+%22SA8001... Cheers George |
I do not believe it is the laser itself going bad ( optical ), as it has been my experience, since the early 80's and the intro to cd playback, the laser reads, or not. Likely, a transport situation ( mechanical ), as mentioned above. Maybe a good cleaning of the internals, or, an alignment, is necessary. At one time, I was able to do the laser assembly replacement myself, but the eyes, and hands, are not what they were ( thank goodness my ears are in fine shape ). The player, as I spoke highly about it on another thread of yours, is worth getting repaired. |
Lasers always take the blame. Check out this link for some very helpful info. Good luck! http://lampizator.eu/LAMPIZATOR/TRANSPORT/laser/Laserology.html |
