Cdp-502

[hmpart]

I've had the CDP-502 for several weeks now and I have noticed that on occasion it does not recognize discs. Each time I've had to turn off the power completely and "re-boot" it in order for it to recognize the disc. It occurs with DVD's or CD's. Seems to me that this should not occur at all. I just touched base with my dealer and he will contact Classe to see what they think. In any event, I thought I'd bring this up to the group.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks

This sounds like the cdp202 bug : whenever the unit is turned on,the system will come out with the message " please insert a disc" even though it is already loaded. in order to avoid this, I double hit the Eject/Load button on the unit, and then load the disc. you only have to do this once when you turn the system on. it should not recur until the next session.
If this indeed is your problem, Classe is well aware of it.I think they came out with a software update that should fix this ( I never bothered to download it).
I hope you find this helpful

Thanks very much! I will give a try next time it occurs. I will pass this on to my dealer as well.

CDP-102 have same problem.

Eliav,

The double push of the eject button did the trick when it failed to recognize the disc. I will discuss with my dealer to see if there is a fix.

Thanks again.

The latest firmware update (1.0.9) did not fix this problem. I have the CDP-202 player.

I certainly hope that Classe are still working on a solution. I remember reading a while ago from an email transcript, that this was a priority issue for them.

Yes Classe' has a possible bug fix but hasn't released it yet. Regardless, I am rarely ever troubled with the anomoly because I just leave a disc in the player when I put it in standby mode. I do this because the player initializes immediately when I take it out of standby otherwise you are forced to "please wait" a little while. I would rather the player "please hurry" instead. :B

I thought that I would pass along an update on the CDP-502. I finally had mine replaced last week and it behaves as the orignal. My dealer contacted Classe and it appears that Classe does know about the glitch and is working on a software update. If I hear any news about a fix I will let you know.

The "glitch" has been a persistant problem for nearly a year. I wonder what is holding up the fix. I think it is time to get to the bottom of this.

standby-resume problem, disc playback problems

Hi @ll,

I purchased last week Classé CDP-102 and CAP2100, both with newest firmware. The standby-issue still exists, nothing, just for your info, even on new delivered products. My dealer was not aware of that problem.
I have som other compatibility issues with new and clean CDs and DVD Audio and would like to hear whether anyone of you has same issues and one or more of the following CDs and DVDs:

a) George Harrison: remastered CD-set of his "Dark Horse"-year-CDs: http://www.amazon.de/Dark-Horse-Year...ref=pd_bbs_sr_
15?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1196937779&sr=8-15

problem: every 5 seconds a dropout, CDP102 ommits one second of playback, appears to "hang" and then continues playback. This happens throught any disc in every track and is very annoying. My set is new and scratch free. Maybe it has something to do with the copy protection.

b) The Beatles "Love" DVD-Audio-version: especially during more quiet music periods I hear many distortions like crackles/electrical discharges on both channels randomly, sometimes it stops for some seconds just to begin and the noise's loudness is medium, also very annyoing. Again totally new and perfect disc. Plays on any other DVD-player without any problems (e.g. Denon 3930)

c) The Quen DTS-/DVD-Audio disc:
DTS- and DVD-Audio Queen:

F8&s=music&qid=1196938281&sr=1-3

CDP does not playback the DVD-Audio 5.1 track, only the PCM stereo track, although it plays nearly every other DVD audio 5.1 I have. Sometimes it starts play back the disc but with the same noise as in b)

d) Any DVD Audio: CDP102 has one second drop with out between every track

Would be great if any of you could test them for comparison.

Thanks a lot.

new firmware release fixes standby issue

Hi folks,

on Classé international webpage:

http://www.classeaudio.com/downloads/Downloads.htm?Path=OPERATING_SOFTWARE/CDP-102_202

there are new firmware updates for alle players (not only 102, 202) from December 14 which fixes the standby issue. I just downloaded it into my 102 and I can say that it resumes much faster (3 secs!) out of standby than before and has no problem anymore to recognize and load the first disc inserted after resume from standby, absolutely great. :T However my disc incompatibilities as mentioned in my previous post still exists, but this firmware updates are not addressed to fix this anyway. The docu mentions new problems with this release e.g. dropouts during playback of MP3s and that the time tracking display can get out of sync. I did not experience the latter and the first with MP3 is not of my concern. there is also an update for the MPEG software. Classé mentions future firmware updates for fixing the new bugs, must be really a big task to accomplish bugfree firmwares... :lol: Robert

P.S. Thanks Birdie for feedback regarding Beatles-Love DVD Audio playback problem.
