[net.audio] Revox CD player Idiosyncrasies

mohler@druxu.UUCP (MohlerDS) (07/11/85)

For those that asked me about Revox problems I have the following
observations:
1. When a disc has many (10 or more) tracks on it, it is normal
   when you call up one of the two last tracks via the direct track
   entry system, that the digital read-out will toggle between the 
   last two tracks for a fraction of a second until landing on the
   entered selection. The phenomenon is worse if the unit has been
   recently unplugged (the memory and the infrared remote circuitry
   is always powered unless the unit is unplugged). I have also 
   found one disc that between the last two tracks (11&12) will
   never work consistently (i.e. press 11 get 11 or 12). This is
   not a player fault, rather a disc fault. Other than those
   items I have not found any unusual characteristics to this CD
   player or direct track entry on this and other players.

2. I have several friends that are Revox dealers and they have
   found that some of the early Revox units had defective memories
   that caused other programming ailments. If you find such a problem,
   call Revox in Nashville and ask for service, they are very helpfull.
