Hello all! Long time lurker, one of the best forums on the entire internet!!
I have a very nice Yamaha CDR-HD1500 CDR burning/HD recording unit that I absolutely love. I often rip my rarer LPs to the HDD so I can queue up "personal copies" without pulling out the vinyl everytime I want to hear them. The hard drive still works great (and from my understanding is a fairly easy upgrade, although I haven't changed mine out, maybe soon?) but the CDR drive is on it's last legs - it will not consistently play discs and won't burn discs at all at this point. I've tried the off the shelf "lens cleaners" but nothing has worked. I grabbed a random PC CDR drive out of my pile of gear to see if I could swap in any old drive and it's a no go. Anyone else have one of these units and have replaced the CDR drive?? Would love a list of compatible drives if such a thing exists. Any tips would be appreciated, big thanks
