No sound from cdp.

I have a Marantz cd5001. I was just listening to a cd, took it out and put another one in. No sound. It spins, I can hear it, it's read, but no sound. I've tried this with several cd's with no sound. Any advice? I'm not in the financial position to buy a new cdp right now so I'd like to see if this one is repairable, before I launch it out my window.

This happened to me when I had a preamp that was very sensitive to static charges. It would mute itself and require a reboot before all was well again. If your room humidity is low, I'd suggest a room humidifier.

It does sound like a static issue. When I was having this kind of problem with my former preamp and the humidity was low I could touch anything made of metal in my system and turn off the sound.

One temporary fix is to take a sheet of aluminum foil roughly 6 x 12", fold it over, put the CD you're about to play in the folded foil, and stroke it a couple times (I know, sounds like voodoo). This will tend to eliminate a static charge from the CD.
