aaadisco 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Guys, I have had my Denon HD 2500 for about 18 months now and I still love it to bits, it is great for beat mixing, the loop function works like a dream and using it with the Denon X500 mixer is a joy! However I've had a few problems recently. Tonight it stopped playing music a couple of times, I thought at first it had been the limiter but everything else was on so it wasn't. I have also found that sometimes in using a play list, it will start playing the next song and then stop. While this isn't happening all the time, it means I am :crap: ing myself everytime I play a first dance. I also use a cortex HD1000 for backup so I normally play the first dance on both machines at the same time so if the denon has a problem, I can quickly flick it over to the Cortex. Anyone else suffered similar problems with the HD 2500? I am thinking about what my options are, I doubt it is still under warrenty. I do have also my gear insured with music guard so not sure whether they would count this as equipment failure so I could claim for a new Denon? What would you do in this situation?

disco4hire 1 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 What would you do in this situation? Check it's not a few corupt MP3 files causing your problem, I had a similar problem myself, I deleted the offending files, re ripped them and reinstated them on the drive and the problem went away New Site Clouds Disco Link to post Share on other sites
Dukesy 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm not familiar with the Denon system, but I know someone who experienced problems with their hard drive mp3s due to cold weather! Apparently, if a hard drive is not protected enough during storage / transit from the cold, this can affect performance, i.e. track stuttering or stopping mid play. After a period of time, the same tracks were played again with no ill effect?! I've experienced something similar with CD players. I like to let them warm up before use! Just a thought.

aaadisco 0 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks for your comments.. Disco4hire, how did you check for corrupt files? I guess I should have made a note of the songs that stopped but I didn't :-0 Is there a program you can run to check?
