Marantz CD10 TOC error

[trellis]

Hi,

I have a Marantz CD10 (CDM4/36) and have sometimes problems, that it soes not read the TOC when inserting a CD.

The turntable motor does not start after inserting the CD. But it is not a turntable motor problem, since the motor works perfectly (under test program conditions). Seems, that the pick-up does not recognize the CD. On the other hand, I do not have any problems with reading CDs, even CD-Rs.

Any suggestions here?

Cheers
Trellis

Tray switch?

 

[trellis]

Don't think so since opening and closing the tray does not help, but pressing "play" 10-15 times helps. Also the Lens tries to focus.

dodgy spindle motor?, what happens if you give it a little finger "push start" while laser tries to focus?

What does the display say when the disk does not spin??

If the laser tries to focus but the disk does not spin :-

Laser dirty
laser height adjustment
turntable motor sticking

Check voltage between pin 1 and 4 on the motor board when laser is trying to focus

Turntable motor sticking is my bet.
CDM4 afaik spins before achieving focus, CDM9 focus before spin.
