Sony CDP-XE530 Erratic No Disc Error

[eddc]

Thanks @Mooly ! The Marantz model that you mentioned looks very well reviewed. And great timing with Christmas approaching ;-)

That’s very cool that you attended Sony for the three day course! And encouraging to know they are generally reliable. A legendary format.

Thanks again for all your help throughout this thread, greatly appreciated. If I give the motor “repair” a go I’ll be sure to feed back.

Cheers, Edd

You're welcome and good luck 🙂

(Peter Tyson is showing the Marantz with a 5yr warranty, worth checking out and they are generally very competitive)

Hello EDDC. Did you manage to fix the CDP-XE530? Did you find the cause of the problem?

Hi @marciobel , it was the electric motor as @Mooly suggested. Given the complications around resolution I didn't go ahead with attempting to fix it and disposed of the unit.
Cheers, Edd
