Friends, 
Does the Young Chang primarily get play from the player mechanism alone? Is
the damper lift also inhibited when played manually? I'm a bit unsure about
the original post or perhaps I've missed something. If the system (I assume
PianoDisc) is the primary source of playback I would make sure that the pedal
solenoid is properly adjusted to give the damper proper lift distance and the
pedal hold adjustment be also set to apply the required power to prevent
sagging while engaged. I've seen many player installations that were not set
up properly to begin with and the pedal lift settings lacking the response to
function at optimum performance. Obtain a PDisc service manual and reset these
solenoid settings. I don't understand how the damper tray can malfunction
without noticing obvious, loose screws, friction at the bushed areas, foreign
objects etc....Please set me straight if I'm on the wrong track.
