I have talked with the seller and he told the unit was silent , so I'm shipping to united radio for repair and the seller has opted to pay for the repair, instead of me returning which is great and why I like dealing on Audiogon , I had bad issue with Reverb and it was not easy to make a return , looking forward to loading our cd's and placing the sony in our rack 
thanks to all for your input 
update, sony is being repaired at united radio, just waiting on parts, I would like to send thanks to the Audiogon member, who sold the sony, he fully backed his sale up, another happy buyer on audiogon
thanks to all
