Marantz SA10 sacd player


I love this  player , after 3 yrs and 2 months I purchase it. It doesn’t read single layer sacd. It’s out of waaranty.So United Radio marantz authorize won’t repair it. Is this a common issue on this expensive sacd player?

Just for kicks…can you power it down and reboot it?
Not standby but a power cycle. Try it and see if it still behaves the same way.

... United Radio marantz authorize won’t repair it ...

Marantz lists quite a few authorized service centers, including the widely respected George Meyer. Have you tried any of them?

I am quite sure you could pick up a replacement traverse assembly (transport) via Encompass (if that is the problem).  You just need to locate a competent technician to help out.  Please let us know how this turns out and don't give up on that great CD player.

I have purchased about a dozen items from aliexpress, always a great price and successful.

any repair shop or even computer shop can replace the assembly.

They come with a small lump of solder that prevents static damage. upon receipt, that lump of solder needs to be separated, not hard for a repair person. I did it.
