Hmmm. Well 200 hours is rather a short time to be able to build up dirt on the collimator lens of the optical pickup to such a degree that the player malfunctions in some way. Are you a smoking household? Coincidentally I have a transport from another manufacturer which uses the same mechanism as the SA-10 and has had a similar level of use or a little less.I agree with the others that those cleaning discs can be dangerous. I was talking a few years ago to a top end player manufacturer who said that one of the most common returns to his service department was caused by cleaning discs knocking off that collimator lens. He suggested only a puff or two of compressed air if it was really necessary. Unfortunately the D&M mechanism in the SA-10 does not appear to allow easy access to the OPU as it all seems to be sealed in a metal housing which appears to form part of the loading mechanism. So direct cleaning of the lens gently using a cotton bud and a photographic lens cleaner is not on the cards (perhaps luckily).
What form does the "buggy" behaviour take?

It is refusing to play cds, sometimes I have to open the drawer and reposition the disc a couple of times to get it to read, this is a fairly new problem,it is a nice sounding player
The loading tray on the relatively new D&M CD/SACD mechanism requires very accurate positioning of the disc. It has been described in some reviews as "tight". I have adopted a disc insertion procedure of placing the disc in the tray and "jiggling" it slightly forwards and backwards until I can feel that the disc is correctly located in the circular depression in the tray. I have had no loading/reading TOC problems using this method.
Your description sounds like this may be the cause of your issue and that my solution may work for you.

Thank you for the helpful information PAR
Whereas it most likely could be a mechanical problem, it may be otherwise.
Try unplugging it for a few hours then start over again.
May help, can't hurt.
Good luck!
