This is one great CD player when I can get it to work - I bought the CD1 last year and it has what I understand is a typical problem for the unit -- it sometimes (more often than not) won't recognize discs - it seems to work better if I just leave the unit on all the time -- is there any resource for repairs for the unit -- I have just joined this forum and have been looking for help on it for a little over a year -- This unit was Yamaha tour de force when it came out -- I would like to be able to turn it on and depend on it working -- it is one clean sounding CD player that adds real life and transients to the listening room -- I think it was about a $3000 machine when it came out in the early years of CDs -- I bought it for $15 at an estate sale last year ( I also bought a Tandberg TCD 310 cassette deck for $12 at the same sale -- it works great -- any way --I am looking forward to this forum --thanks
