Help - Marantz CD 63SE
Wed, Aug 3 2011, 5:51PM
Hi, I purchased my CD player (a Marantz CD63SE) back in 1999. This year the sound started to drop out - i wiggled the connectors and it came back on. I assumed the connecting leads were duff & chucked them out & purchased some new ones. It has not worked. It is infuriating to have to very very gently wiggle the connectoing leads every time i use it and them if its a milimeter out it the sound vanishes. What is woring with the cd player do you think - is it worth getting it fixed?
Thanks. Paul.
Sounds like the output sockets have come loose or the solder joints to the circuit board have cracked. Either way, it is a cheap and easy fix- probably two minutes with a soldering iron.
And yes, it will be worth fixing, the CD63SE is a cracking machine!
