Huma Dragonbane 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 I bought a brand new marantz cd 5400 a while back. Still within warranty period. Unfornately (or should I say fornately for me) I couldn't really tell the difference between this player and those slightly above it in terms of price. So I got the cd5400 and bought a couple of cds with the rest of the money instead. Anyways I hardly play it more than slightly over an hour. However during this time, there will be a slight pause and the the display (remaining time) would disappear during that slight pause. The pause lasts for about a second. What could be the problem? Could it be because of heat buildup? Or cause it's still very new? Should I bring it in for repairs? And how long would it take? Thanks. Other than the above stated problem, i've no idea problems.

N3w_Typ3 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 i think you should read the instruction booklet that is provided first. maybe when in pause mode the LCD switches itself off .. as Marantz CD5400 can switch off the LCD when ever the user like. If anything wrong you can bring down the player to the shop you buy and have a check ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it's just the time remaining that suddenly dissappears for that slight pause. plus even though the cd is free of any blemishes it will still have that pause within an hour of playing...i could still bring it down to the shop i bought it from to have it checked? Btw the slight pause was not me pressing pause or anything like that, it happened. Edited September 5, 2004 by Huma Dragonbane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huma Dragonbane 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 Any idea how long the repair will take? My exams are coming soon, I need my dose of music to chill. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seiko_citizen 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 repairs should be done quickly, but other things like transport from the store and the repair center can take a little longer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 (edited) Let me get the story right............are U saying that the pause occurred somewhere through a cd and at certain time within an hour of playback and this pause will deactivate on its own? I call this skipping. The blanked out display will remain so unless U press <DISPLAY ON-OFF> to refresh the screen panel? I would suspect the transport/pickup section initially but the screen problem that comes with this pause suggests a possible problem with the microchip too. Looks like U may need to send it to agent for repairs. Before U do, give them a call and speak to their technical guy if there really is a problem with your cdp.

Huma Dragonbane 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 DAMN IT! AFTER SENDING FOR REPAIRS IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. DON'T THEY DO THEIR JOBS? GAWD! It's still very new (my grandma got it for me less than a month ago) and already so much problems? Plus it''s quite a hassle for me to send my cd player there since i'm a student. I've to drag it on the bus, then the mrt, then the bus and then walk to the damn place. Plus I've to live without my music for days again. Is there any way I could still get a replacement?

Huma Dragonbane 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 Got it for less than a month. It was giving the same problems on the second day of purchase. (Like I explained before, I was too busy and had no one who could help me change it within the first week) I got it at kec. I didn't send it to the shop, I sent it to the distributer. Cause the shop told me to send it there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well just call them up and see what are the options given to you ?? anyway how long after the repaired this problem occur again ?? but well if the same problems still occurs then i guess if you can talk to them nicely about the situation they might consider changing a new set for you !! because is their fault that the repair job is not done properly! and it happend on the second day of your purchase !

Blues 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2004 couldn't you test the player after they have repaired if for you? This is to make sure everything works perfectly fine before you bring them back. Any problem , ask them to fix for you again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huma Dragonbane 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2004 Yeah but the thing is, the problem occurs at random. Sometimes it'll happen within an hour, sometimes after an hour then it'll happen....they're supposed to have fixed it, I don't have the time to sit there and listen to music for two hours. Sigh...this is so frustrating, first time I got a branded cd player and I already get crap like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
av98m 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2004 Perhaps you should demand that they replace it with a new unit. It could have some fault that their techs are unable to trace. This reminds me of a computer I used to own. It kept breaking down during the first 3 months despite repeated repairs. I wanted a new replacement but they wanted to repair it. A very strongly worded letter (properly typewritten and sent via registered mail, I faxed over another copy for good measure) to their management took care of the problem and I got a new unit which worked fine for the next 3 years. Sometimes you just have to crack the whip to get things done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
