| Marantz SA10 sacd player That's okay. The above post is more relevant to you anyway. Easy, as in not difficult or technical in any way, to check the LOP levels of your lasers. | |

| Marantz SA10 sacd player The standard Marantz US warranty is 3 years from date of purchase for original owner. So you are totally out of warranty and will pay for all repair costs. It does not matter where you take your player. Any repair shop that repairs cd players shou... | |

| Marantz SA10 sacd player This is a bit of a strange thread in some ways. The Marantz SA-10 is a current production model and will definitely be serviced by an Authorized Marantz Service Center. The OP does seem to indicate that the only Marantz Service Center he has conta... | |

| SACD repair? Sorry but I got busy and hadn't checked here.............. Yes, the HOP1200 replacements have a horrible reputation. I once read that they should be ordered in batches of 5 in order to get a couple good ones. But I have no experience with them. ... | |
