SONY SCD-1 CD/SACD Player

I have one of the above unit which has experienced a disc reading problem. The unit must be switched on and warm up for more than 30 minutes before it can read any disc (either CD or SACD. Please advise reason or comment if anyone has experienced same kind of problem for this model.
I wish that some one will provide the contact of any service or repairing center which can do upgrade and service for this model. Thanks.

It probably has a bad sled motor. Common problem. I have a 777 that I have not repaired. There is a Sony service center that will fix it. I think it is $279 but you have to ship it.

Sounds like a sled drive motor problem. I have an SCD-1 and had a similar problem and fixed it myself. You need to pick a repair shop who is familiar with this problem and knows how to fix it.

Thank you for posting this thread. I had considered buying an SCD-1 or an SCD-777 but this thread, and others before
it, have convinced me to look elsewhere. I currently have a
CDP-R1/DAS-R1 combo without any issues. Despite the "Built
like a tank" appearance, the SCD units above seem prone to
mechanical issues and are difficult to get repaired.

Tonykay,

I would not, not buy a Sony SCD because of these threads. I have a 777, and its killer. Things may break down, but given the amount of units in circulation, its not that bad.

All said and done, there are a lot more working than not.

I had a 777 and an SCD-1. Both would not read a disc from time to time. I discovered that if I left the units powered up 24/7 that I no longer had the problem.
More to discover
