Hi.....

It might not be the laser, I have seen this before if it's the model I'm
thinking of, I had problems with the actual DAC, TDA1541, unless I'm
thinking about another model.

It could still of course be the laser, the Philips 12.1 is fairly common
laser assembly, if you cant get one, let me know.

Hi,

I have a problem with my Marantz CD67 MKII SE cd player. When initially
turned on the cd player has trouble finding CD tracks, sometimes coming
up
with No Disc. If a CD plays in the player, it does so, but is completely
drowned out by a crackling noise.

However, if you leave the player on for an hour or so, it seems to 'warm
up'
and is able to play the CDs almost as normal (there is still a bit of
crackling, but it usually not noticeable)

Anyone got any ideas what the problem is. Is it DIY repairable and if so
what do I need to do/replace. If its not diyable, how much should I
expect
to have to pay to have it repaired.

Kind regards

Mark



My CD67 has this problem, but only in the winter. I leave it
continuously powered-up in the winter months and this eliminates the
problem.

I'm assuming it's a laser problem, and it's about to die but it keeps
soldiering on.
