Naim Unitilite cd mech issue

[LeeT]

Recently purchased a Unitilite. When the cd mech is returning to the start after playing a track & pressing stop, it makes a hard clunk when the sled hits the stop position. Is this normal, anyone here own one of these.

I owned a Uniti 2 with no such issue.

Thanks.

There are a couple of threads on similar issues with the Unitilite.

Can’t find them so thought i would open a new thread for this specific issue.

There’s this one:

Unitilite drawer, yet again

I know there are several threads on the issue, and I’ve been through them but couldn’t really find the answer. A friend of mine has a four-year-old Unitilite - as with so many others, the drawer refuses to come out on its own. For a while, it was possible to open the door, the drawer would come out and you could play a cd. However, he’s left it too long, and now the drawer refuses to come out altogether, even when you’ve managed to open the door. The belt apparently needs to be replaced, but…

or this one:

Sticky Unitilite CD Drawer

What has been the consensus on resolving CD drawer that doesn’t open. I have been making regular trips to my dealer for repairs. The dealer advised me that the failure is a result of poor design. Does Naim provide any replacements for the transport mechanism? This has been very frustrating.

Hope you can find an answer to your problem.

I don’t have a problem with the drawer. Like the title says, it’s the cd mech that is the issue.

The original CD drive of my UnitiLite returned with a (sometimes) hard clunk. But it never failed when the disk were loaded. I had the drive replaced because the load/unload mechanism failed after 9 years. The new drive has a softer return to the the start position.
