Problem with Marantz SA-8260


I recently purchased a Marantz SA-8260 SACD/CD player. It does two things I don't like and I'm hoping someone here will know what I can do to fix it.

1. It does not recognize some older CDs in my collection. When they are loaded it tries to read the TOC, but eventually stops and displays, "No Disc".
2. It seems much more sensitive to disc cleanliness than my other players. It skips or stalls on CDs that other players have no trouble with.

Does anyone have any ideas (except purchasing a turn table)?

I hope you see this post
I had a mf cd player that started to act
just like that and all I had to do was open
it up and clean the lens of the laser with
a q-tip with achohol and thats it works fine
all this need new laser stuff is last resort
unless it is under warranty
I know some are not up to repair challenges but
I bet that is all it needs
they wont tell you this they want your money
Sorry, a MF cd player is not the same as a Marantz sacd player. Cleaning the laser lens won't cure a chip that's overheating and needs a resistor to drop the voltage a little. Also, you pretty much have to take the transport unit out of the 8260 player in order to have access to the laser in order to swab it with a Q-tip.
I think you need to
reread the problem statement
overheating chip o.k.
Like I said that just want your
MONEY
