    Redbook on Denon 2900 has crapped out

    Normally, I play CDs through my CD player, but today I went to play a CD on the Denon and it won't read it. Tried a bunch of CDs as well as the redbook layer on an SACD, and nothing. It'll either get stuck at "Loading" or result in "No Play."

    Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to do a "reset" on the machine? Any ideas/suggestions before I contact Denon?

    Most likely this means your optical pick-up is faulty. It has two lasers, one for CD, and another for DVD/SACD. If one fails, the type of disc corresponding to the faulty laser won't play.

      That's what I'm afraid of, but thanks Kevin.

          Yeah, Stan. I'd rather have it still able to play the other formats. It's out of warranty, so if it doesn't turn out to cost an arm and leg, I'll fix it. But I can take my time to do it, as long as it still plays movies and hi-res.

            I understand. However, I suspect that it will not be cheap to fix and that if you send it to Denon, that it will be out of commission for quite a while. Then, what will you use to watch movies.

            I hope that your Denon dealer will take good care of you. Mine would probably give me a demo during repair period.

                Denon 2900 repaired

                Mine started being picky with SACDs -- only about 10% of my collection. Every other format played fine. Replaced the "laser" (sorry, I've got no more details from dealer) and all is well. Sounds like there have been a slew of similar problems. Mine was covered under extended warranty (one of the few I've ever bought!).

                  Mine was purchased so long ago, even the extended warranty has run out. lol

                  If I send it out, I have my FAR LESS PICKY cheapo Sony 715P as backup.

                  Been a long time, Azeke. Hope you're well.
