Try spraying the laser light bulb with a compressed air? May not be anything wrong with the cd player at all.
CD Player Woes
My Rotel 970 CD player is approximately 6 years old and for the second time now the transport section has failed. (Skipping)The company wants $235 to repair it. Is this a normal failure rate (yes I play it a lot) for CD players or should I be upset with Rotel? I'm thinking of going to a separate transport but I hate to spend the money and have the same problems. Are more expensive players/transports that much better? Is it safe to buy a used transport? (I recently picked up a Aragon D2A)As a Lutheran Pastor I don't have a lot of money to work with here. Any help would be appreciated.
