I assume that Sony Central Repair ( U.K. ) can’t be bothered with the hassle & have just decided to replace ??

I've read from several people who have had issues with their WM1Z or TA-ZH1ES and almost everytime, they have been replaced entirely and not repaired.

I have issues with the Volume Knob on my TA-ZH1ES and i was already told, that most likely the whole TA-ZH1ES is going to be replaced.

@Rob49 this is good news and oh man you will begin again with Burn-in..

Sony does same thing with headphones and DAP. I had a Zx100 repaired acrually as i got my player back back in the days.

The big quewtion are
A) they scavenge unrepaired inits for parts?
B)who know if you’re getting a new unit or a refurbished
C) we both got our DMP thru amazon europe, we never know if we got new unit sealed or refurb. I suspect mine is nee as the changes in sound during burn-in and how unit was wrapped, external packaging thos (white carton with dmp pic augmented) came with no plastic shrink. So hence my toughts

Burn in is not of a concern to me, because my player sounded great from the off & personally it was not obvious to me of any improvements during the 1.214 hrs of usage.
I hope & pray that I am getting a brand new unit & not a refurb, but I would assume I am, given the expected wait till February 17th. I almost did ask where the unit was coming from, but the words didn’t come out in that moment.

There was nothing to suggest to me that my player wasn’t a brand new player, but I had not looked at a unboxing video on the internet. All I can say is roll on the 17th. I’m going to my partners on the 25th so hope I receive it by then ?

( I can’t recall any shrink wrap. Don’t think there was ? )

There is a Sony warehouse in GA?

SO…


SO….,BIG NEWS…..potentially, for all DMP-Z1 owners…..I decided to ring Sony repair centre, to chase up the repair of my player, to be told, the replacement parts are no longer available. ( I honestly don’t know if this is a location issue, being in the U.K. ?? )

I’ve been told a replacement is on order, which is due in on February 17th. I said, “Could you reassure me that there will be no problem sourcing a replacement” ? She said there should be no problem. ( I’ll be relieved when they confirm that they are sending the replacement. )

It does leave that very important question - what happens if the same thing happens again, or other parts are needed, when they are no longer available & this is out of warranty ??

Rob, stop worrying about things that may not happen and at the present time seemingly out of your control whatsoever. Enjoy the moment that you are getting a new DMP-1Z!

I am of that nature…..but I’ve been putting my Tazzy to good use, during the wait……as soon as it arrives, there will no doubt be a pic….

It’s nice to hear THAT SOUND, again, after a month. Enjoy your time in Berlin.

On youtube, I came across a new unboxing video of DMP. The guy’s DMP was manufactured in 2021 sept 9. So Sony is still making new ones in the last 6 months.

DMP-Z1 ( No. 2 ) by my side…..and my computer hard drive has failed, during the ripping process, yesterday…..TIMING !

Just at the 17 hrs played mark & from the very first seconds of listening, so wonderful to hear the sound again, after a month. I know this sounds crazy, but I think No.2 sounds even better ! I never dreamt I would own this player, let alone have a second brand new unit
