Arcam FMJ DV139 not reading SACD's.

[alcarmichael]

My Arcam player won't read SACD's but will play CD's fine. I replaced the laser but still have the same problem. Any suggestions as to what the problem may be?

When you put a disc SACD
What is written on the Display
?

Well this is strange; I just placed a dual layer SACD into the tray to confirm exactly what is written on the display, I think it said 'BAD DISK' but wanted to confirm. On loading it read the SACD layer straight away!

Yes I did. It appears to be working perfectly fine now. Touch wood. Not sure why or how? Perhaps I just needed to turn it off and back on again!

On trying again today, it wouldn't recognise the disc again, the display reading 'Bad Disc'. Before I replaced the laser mechanism it would read the redbook layer. I ejected and reloaded the disc and it did read the SACD layer. Then it wouldn't. Then a couple more times it would again.

It should also be noted I sometimes have a minor fault on start up. It may start up and read 'Initializing', the display will then go off for a while before coming back on when it has read the disc. Other times when I switch the player on it will load as it should.
