I had a Marantz 8001 that would not recognize the sacd layer of my Mercury Living Presence Rachmaninov SACD but it plays fine on Sony and pioneer universals. Why that particular one only, I don't know.
SACD anamoly?
I have three SACD out of around 50 or so. 2 by Vanguard, the Berlioz Requiem and Brendel doing Chopin's Polinaises plus a Fantasy of Vince Guaraldi doing Charlie Brown's Christmas. The problem is they will not play on my Marantz SA-14. They will on every other SACD player I try. No other CD,several hundred or SACD has this issue. Any ideas?
