Marantz CD6000 OSE CD-R Error

This CD player uses one of the best transport mechanisms, and it is one of the most reliable, however if you are having problems with certain brands of CD-R media then here are some useful tips to follow.

If you are having difficulty with certain brands of CD-R, then my advice is to use the best quality discs. When burning these discs, always use the slowest burning speeds. My Friend Rufus... always burns his at the maximum of ×52 speed, thinking that he is clever, but he also makes many coasters. I find that burning discs at slower speeds such as ×8 or ×4 works much better. You get a more accurate burn and the laser has no problems tracking the disc.

CD Errors are always difficult to diagnose because sometimes the problem can be with the laser mechanism, spindle motor, or even the sled.

If the CD player came from the second hand market then it is probably wise to run the internal diagnostic to make sure that all the components within the transport mechanism are working correctly.

To enter into the Service Mode, you need to press [PLAY] + [OPEN / CLOSE] buttons simultaneously and turn the power on. The player should display the model number, microprocessor version, and the mode.

Pressing the track NEXT button will shift the diagnostics through the successive testing modes. Consult the Service Manual for more information.
