UnitiServe doesn't rip (or play) CDs

Posted by: deepinsight on 09 August 2015

I insert a CD into my US and it makes noises, as though it's reading the disc. This carries on for about two minutes yet nothing happens !!

 

There's no indication that it's doing anything from the desktop client ( ripping monitor, Now Playing, Encoding Monitor, CD Lookup Monitor are all empty ).

 

After the two minutes that's it, the US goes quiet and nothing else happens.

 

The CD plays and gets looked up pefectly in my PC.

 

Have I missed something?

Is this just specific CDs? There will always be some that it cannot rip for some reason.

H,

 

No it seems to be all CDs, and believe me I've tried a few...

 

I've tried setting the US to play rather then rip, but still the same results but no play.

 

There is one thing now I come to think about it, the first disc I inserted was a DVD, and that was spinning and spinning until ejected by use of the paper-clip method...

Power it down for a while usually resolves the occasional error. I was trying to rip a badly scratched cd it had the same effect, a power down for a few hours did the job. 

 

Good luck

Thanks for your suggestions both, but after speaking with Phil @ naim it's gone back to the factory....
