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.

Thanks everyone for their helpful replies. My friend has located the stabilizer disk. He had moved all of the equipment from his uncle's house and did not know that the disk was needed for the SCD1. He had it in his tool box!
He did install it and is now able to play with his new toy.

Thanks again, Pete.
