To all that has a Theta Miles CD player


I’ve noticed lately that my Miles is skipping the first note or music measure on about every third song. It’s not consistent, but it’s still there. Since I’m using it as only a transport, it has to be the optics system.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Its a dino....look to get a Aurender music player to replace it...youll be glad you did.
Try turning the unit off and then power up again after a few minutes.
Also try using the pause feature a few times in a row.

Hopefully it is just "old age."
Sounds like the textbook first sign of a failing laser. I hope I’m wrong, but that Theta really is a dinosaur. Probably time to start shopping for a new (or used) transport. FYI, there’s a Theta Miles transport for sale here for $899.

Have an electronics repair shop check it out. Could be a simple fix, or a laser assembly cleaning. When was the last time you had your player tuned up?
