-Considering whether to explore repairing or not -
I have two NH900s, both of which have started failing in the same way that 'sbeuh' describes above during playback of 74 and 80 minute discs recorded in SP or LP2.
Skips and gaps are becoming much too common. They worked fine when I first got them. I'm wondering if it's worth having these two units repaired?
I liked them as playback units and for downloading or burning CDs to using Simple Burner. I'd rather use these units for such functions than my RH1s. But, I have also found them to be finicky machines (especially regarding the two buttons on the face labeled 'CANCEL / CHG' which also has the Pause (||) function and the smaller button labeled 'NAVI /MENU'.
(I have a third NH900 that is beyond repair I think, which could be used for spare parts but, it did lot of skipping and blanking out during playback as well.)
Were these just poorly designed or built machines, despite the nice metal case? Or did I just manage to get three bad ones?
To repair or not to repair is the question.
