Market
Recent market listings show the Denon DCD-620 selling for around $250 USD, though some units go for as low as $40 or $90 depending on condition. The usual fault is a disc drawer that sticks or moves choppily, often from friction in the transport rails or a dirty laser lens. Cleaning the laser lens and lubricating the transport rails has reportedly fixed the skipping and the tray problems. Some units are listed as partly working or for repair.
