I have a Besound 9000 MK1 that has developed a clicking/chattering sound when the CD mechanism starts. It plays fine and moves across the 6 positions without any problems.

I am not quite sure what is causing the sound. The sound is like a gear slipping.

Any ideas?

Question:

Is the sound you mentioning perceived while you are playing a CD, or when you are moving from CD to CD?

Is the sound perceived only when starting the CD, or also while the CD is playing?

Is the sound a mechanical clicking coming from the drive, or do you hear it through the loudspeakers?

Hi Zuegers07:

The clicking sound is mechanical. It doesn’t come through the speakers. It’s from the mechanism.

The sound only happens when the CD is spinning up and reading the TOC. Once it starts playing there is no clicking sound. It is as if when the laser is being recalled to the center of the disc to read the TOC, the sled motor continues to run even though laser pickup has reached the start position and unable to run further. It’s also intermittent. Once every few times and more often form a cold start.
