View Full Version : Arcam DV135 - CD's stop playing mid-song

I recently purchased the Arcam AVR280 and DV135. The sound quality has been fantastic (through my B&W speakers) but my CD's stop mid-song.

It started with the very first CD I put into the machine. I was on track 3 and all of a sudden it was like the DV135 froze. The counter stops and the player goes silent. I can skip forward or back one track at a time and it starts playing again (sometimes stopping again but not in exactly the same spot).

At first I thought it was my "old" CD, so I tried a few others. One was a fairly new (only played 2-3 times) and just to test, I even tried to burn a CD and then put it straight in the DV135 (without a speck of dust on it) -- same problem.

I have been able to get through two DVD movies. The first played start-to-finish without problem; the second DVD stopped twice (in different spots) and had to be ejected before starting up again.

Has this happened to anyone before? Any ideas on what I should do (other than to track down my dealer and ask for help)?

Please contact your dealer and have him burn a 4.08 software upgrade disc and run it through your machine. This upgrade solves a bug that affects CD play on some DV135 as you describe.

Also solves DVD play as you describe.

I also have DV135 which is having dropouts & freezes intermittently. Perhaps need to update the software. My version is 4.03. Is there a link where I can find the software to burn to CD or can somebody e-mail me the file?
Thanks,
