Pioneer PD-S707 squeeling noise on start-up

[LSspeaker]

Hi,

I currently got a PD-S707 CD player as a main source, which I'm pretty happy with, using its digital out.

Since a few weeks I got this problem when the CD starts spinning it makes a squeeling noise, after a while it stops and doesn't come back during playback.

This doesn't happen always but lets say 60% of the time I start a CD.

Besides this, it recognizes the CD instantly, loads it in/out perfectly.

Anyone have an idea what this could be?
Possibly the spindle motor?

Regards
Florian

It could be the spindle motor but also the servo drive that powers the sled motor. Please check if it needs some grease on the metal rod.
