REH Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 We have a Sony E10 less than one year old. One time it has paused at random in the middle of a track. The disc and track can be played many more times with no problem. With such a new player can cleaning do anything? On our older E11 the same thing has happened, again one incident and then the disc plays without problem. This is heart stopping when it happens during a live performance!

MDX-400 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Wow I can imagine how that could be pretty disappointing! To have pro/industrial deck fail in less than a year? Not too nice Was the unit brand new when you got it or was it already used? I would say to get a cleaning disc and clean the lens of the unit (or if you know what you're doing you could take it apart and clean the lens "professionally"). Its worth a shot. Depending on the environment its being used in (smokey, dusty, etc.) lens dirt/dust accumulation can be accelerated compared to a home environment. I know that the pro decks call for frequent cleaning based on hours of use as a matter of maintenance since they are usually used in "severe" conditions (relative to consumer gear). I'd say clean the lens and see what happens. Also where are the discs being recorded and are the MDs new or used and what brand are you using? I'd say clean them both (the E10 and E11 if you still have/use that one), and see if the problem clears up. I really wouldn't expect such behaviour from pro decks like that--it doesn't seem right.
