I’m having an issue with my BeoSound 9000 Mark 3, which I purchased second-hand.
After some time (around 10 minutes of operation), the upper arm of the CD sled seems to lower slightly. As a result, the CDs audibly scrape against the arm. If I carefully lift the front edge of the arm by less than 1 mm, the noise disappears – but only temporarily, as it reoccurs shortly after.
This issue affects all CD slots. The unit is currently placed flat on the floor and set accordingly. Previously, it was used horizontally mounted on a wall.
Years ago, I recall reading in old forums that there were capacitor issues with the MK 1. Could this be a similar issue? I’m not sure what’s causing the problem or how to fix it.
I’d appreciate any ideas or advice you could offer.
Best regards,
Horst
