Can I use both sets of analog outs on my CD player

Arcam Alpha 9 drive motor hums?? Need help
Have the same problem. It seems to be dependent upon the CD. I have an XRCD and a couple other which causes the problem each time I play them. Others are consistently noisless.

B&W N804

Absent on-screen display
In my set-up (Marantz 18EX to Mitz screen) it was necessary to run an additional line - coax - between video out from Marantz to a Video in (1,2...) on the tube. Then switch to that input on the tube to see the On Screen Display. Terry
