Sound Or Lack Of It !

[lexuspeter]

Ongoing problem with my 08 IS 250 Mark Levinson system

Sat Nav OK

Radio OK

CD no sound but each CD placed in machine is shown on screen. Tracking works and elapsed time is shown.

Car has been back to dealer 3 times. Now booked in for a 4th time. Everyone at Lexus very obliging but so far the problem remains.

Visit A. Amplifier disconnected and reconnected. Standard ( I was told) first line of approach. Worked for a couple of days

Visit B. Amplifier replaced under warranty.Worked for a couple of days

Visit C. CD Unit replaced.Worked for a couple of days

Visit D. Due soon. Hopeful for a cure.

I have been advised by an audio engineer friend that the auxilliary sockets could be the culprit(s) as when an Ipod or similar is used the CD sound is muted. I have not used any auxilliary device but the previous owner may have done so.

If anyone has any experience of this fault or if anyone has an idea of the likely problem I would be grateful for some feedback please.

Err3

Err3 seems to be about CDs getting stuck in the player. My problems are not related to CDs getting stuck in the player !

Does it make a pop from the speakers before it goes off? If so it sounds like a dodgey speaker tripping the amp out. I've heard of the bass speaker causing this problem

[lexuspeter]

Thanks for ypur reply. There is no "pop" sound coming from the speakers but it may well be something to tell Lexus at the next visit. Something tripping the amplifier sounds like an avenue to explore

Thinking a bit more about the previous comment ( amplifier tripping out )... If this were the case and the amplifier did trip out ... surely this would prevent the radio working but the radio has worked throughout these problems !
