Yes, you need the stabiliser to operate the player. Refer to the following website for a picture of the stabiliser - ( http://www.audiophilia.com/hardware/sacd.htm ). Look out for it and if you are unable to find it, contact your local Sony distributor and I am sure that they will be able to obtain one for you. Best Regards.
Sony SCD1 Problem
A good friend of mine just inherited a $40,000 system from a deceased uncle's estate. He asked me to connect it together, since he has no experience in high-end audio.
He has a Sony SCD1. When powered up, a message appears in the window that says, " No Stabilizer". The unit will not play. Once the sliding door is open, I placed a CD in the transport tray, closed the door, and hit the play button.
Do you need a CD clamp or weighing device on top of the disk for it to work? There is no owner's manual available. What does "No Stabilizer" mean?
Any help would be appreciated.
