No sound from cdp.

I have a Marantz cd5001. I was just listening to a cd, took it out and put another one in. No sound. It spins, I can hear it, it's read, but no sound. I've tried this with several cd's with no sound. Any advice? I'm not in the financial position to buy a new cdp right now so I'd like to see if this one is repairable, before I launch it out my window.

What kind of connector do you used? Coaxial or Optical for the audio output? If it's either one of those and you put in a SACD labeled CD's then you will get absolutely no sound, because SACD used only analog outputs, get a pair of RCA cables and run it out to your Pre/Pro and you'll get sound from any CD's.

All the cd's I was attempting to play have been played before, several times. It was very odd. Listen to a cd, take it out, put another in and no sound. Eventually I turned all my equipment off, Pre, amp, dac and cd, turned everything back on, and voila, sound.

check interconnects connected tight first, than if you have a headphone jack try to see if you get any sound from there.
you can also try to get a cheap DAC to see if your digital out is functioning.

Try unplugging it for about 15 minutes then plug it back in again.
