Topic: Denon DVD-2900 vibrates

Calling on all Denon DVD-2900 owners/past owners.

I picked up one of those units on the weekend and much to my surprise the player vibrates during SACD and DVD playback. The vibrations do not occur during regular CD's playback. Has anyone else experienced vibrations on their machines? Is there a solution to this problem? The player is in mint condition otherwise.
Any advise or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
_A

Vibration doesn't destroy playback but I certainly wouldn't bet that it doesn't affect sound. I used to own a Denon DVD-2900 and it would vibrate with any disc that is drilled slightly eccentrically, it wasn't specific to format. I'd suggest checking your discs to see whether this is also true for you. There are cutting devices to correct discs if so.

My 2900 usually only vibrates when reading a new disc. It does vibrate sometimes, but never during playback so it does not bother me. Most times it is inaudible during all playback.

If you want to hear whether there is any audible improvement with reducing vibrations at the disc/clamping mechanism interface, then check out a $3.95 CD mat bargain:

Virtually guaranteed to impress, or you can send it back under the terms of the ninety day home trial.
This has worked for me on a number of machines, even when there is no discernible vibration of a CD player, or CD transport, so should be interesting for you to hear what you think.
