cd player

Hello forum! I posted this on the Digital Sources subforum, but I figure I'd post it here as well. I'm trying to repair my mother's 1987 Sony CDP-31. It was working fine until recently when the CD tray started acting funny. At first I assumed it was the CD tray belt and I replaced that. The tray...

I have just picked this very good-looking player from the late 80s and have been hunting for a service manual. Before I pay for a copy, I thought I’d ask here. Does anyone have a service manual for this player? Thanks!

I've been using a Sony Discman D-33 on my desk for a little while and have been pretty happy with it. What made me unhappy with it was my purchase of a Sony CDP-950 full size CD player, with a Philips TDA-1541 DAC in it. That CD player has spoiled me. Nothing else I own sounds as good, at least...

Howdy, I got my dads old CD player out of the loft to add to my new system. We turned it on and the cd tray didn’t open, but we could hear whirring inside. We opened it up and the belts had disintegrated, so we replaced them and it all worked fine. Now when it closes, one of the switches just...

I bought a vintage Denon DCD 1500 mk2 CD player, and I can smell some sort of burning plastic if I get very close to the player, I mean literally that my nose has to almost touche the player in order to smell it. The location is around the tray position where the disc is placed. For safety...

I've just done a classic repair of replacing the belts on my Nakamichi MB-3 and everything works but a new problem arose. When I power it on, the relay sends electric surges in an attempt to start the CD player to no avail (you can see the electricity between the board and film that's zip-tied...

About 2 years ago, i invested several thousand dollars into a Mark Levinson 5101 CD player. It was part of their latest line of components. After approx. 2 years of constant calls to their tech support, along with new firmware updates, this product still remains a POS. The streamer along with...

Hi! I have just bought a Studer A730 cd player and while checking the internals I noticed there is something different about the brand of chips used inside this CD player. As you can see from the photo attachments, there are a lot of “Portugal” brand chips in place of what should have been...

Hey folks, I was out thrifting today and I stumbled across a General Electric CD player I'd never seen before. The front was totally unmarked, but on the back it showed that it was a General Electric 3-7000A Manufactured in May of 1984! So this thing is celebrating its 39th birthday this...

Hello, I have been trying to find a PDF of a service manual for the PD-570 for a while and have not been able to. I'm trying to fix my mother in law's stereo and her CD unit, the PD-570, will eject the CD tray. Hoping this is an easy fix. Any help would be appriciated. Thank you

Hello I'm currently troubleshooting a Rotel RCC-945 cd player. It has what seems to be a ground hum. The noise starts at power up when the relay switch clicks (this relay is located by the output terminals). I re-soldered some solder joints that looked suspicious to the eye. These include the...

I want something compact that I can put on my work desk that has a nice big display on it. Optical out would be nice, but not necessary. I have quite a pile of Sony Discman players. But none of them have the nice big display I am looking for.

I recently acquired a Technics SL-P999, without a remote, which appears to work perfectly. I was hoping to control it with my Logitech Harmony remote, but after configuring that, the player does not respond to it. I've also tried a Technics remote (EUR643900) from a more recent player, and...

Hi, Can anyone shed some light or have an opinion on the quality of the DAC within this machine, the Yamaha CDR-HD1300? I presume that since the machine offered very high quality HDD analogue recording from CDs that it would have employed some very good Yamaha electronics. But rather than...

Getting the bug to revisit my CD collection. Going to use an external DAC with it. Just starting my journey... What brands or models are typically found in thrift stores, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and the like that are worth looking for? Also, when inspecting the gear, anything you...

Hi, I have a new to me Carver SDA 490T that isn't working properly. I've cleaned and greased the rails, cleaned both the lens and laser underneath, and checked the contacts from the wires leading to the laser pickup. There is a metallic clink sound every time the motor starts spinning the...

Hello, I recently got a Magnavox cd2000-bk22 cd player for cheap, and everything on it works fine except for the display. Whenever I use the player, only the 'track' light comes on. I've taken it apart and examined everything I can access but I can not find any glaring issues. I also can't find...

Hi All, I was listening to my Nakamichi CD Player 2 this morning. It's new to me, and in great shape, with original box too. Sounding excellent. This morning, in the middle of a song, it just spontaneously stopped. From this point on, it won't even read a CD. I put a CD in and I hear a very...

I have a Toshiba SD9000 CD/DVD player. It sounds very good (to me) despite not being a CD-exclusive machine. It seems to have good solid machinery -- it weighs a ton for a CD player -- yet the very occasional CD totally flummoxes it. It'll just whir and whir and not be able to read the disc. I...

2020 Kia Forte GT-Line, with Premium Package (including Harman Kardon stereo, factory model, not aftermarket) Belongs to a friend, very anxious and busy woman, not willing to deal with any type of conflict. Buzzy and distorted Bass in rear speaker, and she considers it "fixed" when charged...

I'm trying to determine if there is any advantage in using "Audio" caps (like Silmic II, Muse, etc) to recap the digital portion of a vintage Sony ES CD player (not the PS & analog circuits) vs 105 deg, low ESR caps. It would seem to me that there would not be any advantage to do this. Does...

Hi, For about 8 years now I've used the M Audio AV-40s as my main computer speakers, as well as for light studio work (I do it all on the same computer). I also have a receiver-amplifier hooked to a tape deck and a turntable, that has a phono out. I have a converter from the 1/4" out on that to...

HI all, I recently picked up a very nice Pioneer PD-75 Elite Cd player in very good condition. It is beautiful to look at and it sounds spectacular. I am not dissatisfied with it at all, but I wanted to ask the group if there are modifications that one can make to this player. I've heard of...
