CDP-CX450 problem solved!! But why?

[kirton]

Greetings one and all!!

I have, over the years built up a fairly decent array of CD Megachangers with amps; external device servers; SAVR3; volume mderator and Panther Studios Home jukebox on a PC.

For the most part it works rather well and I am pleased with it, But............
recently a CDP-CX450 has taken to swinging its CD table to and fro in a rather mindless way.
Even a trip to the engineer only resulted in it working normally for two days after its return.

I have found, however, that if I unplug it from the power socket at night time it works just fine the next day.  I have done this now for a week and all is fine.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!!

Any suggestions?

Apparently, something has changed that can only be resolved by re-booting the player, which is what you are accomplishing by turning the unit off at night and back on in the morning.  I doubt that anyone here can tell you what changed.

I can understand that Jehill but if I just switch off the power socket the problem comes back.

I must physically unplug the unit and THAT is what I cannot fathom!!

Generally most Sony items when unplugged for over 15 minutes will revert to factory settings.

The only thing coming to mid is a possible heat issue which is pretty unusual for cd player .
Do you have anything directly on the unit? I had 1 mega changer that acted strange if anything sat on top of the unit.
Try that - if no change check to see if it is level
Good Luck!
