cd player

Hi Everyone, Recently picked up a Sony CDP-7F cd player that I was told worked perfectly for 6 months but then suddenly just stopped reading the cd. I read through the very helpful Laserology post on AK as well the amazing megathread for Troubleshooting CD Players by @dr*audio . There was a...

I just bought this Technics cd player and it had a few issues that I was hoping some pros here would have an idea what's going on. One the left channel is very finicky to make a connection. I tried to sets of RCA cables and there's no difference. It's just the left channel that's spotty. I can...

Hey everyone! I’m eyeing up a Luxman d-380, but can’t find much by ways of reviews online. It fascinates me because not only does it look so beautiful, but you can switch between tube and solid state mode. My current CD is an Adcom GCD-750 in an Adcom stack with GFP-750 and GFA-555. I do really...

Hi folks, I couldn't resist buying a defective T+A CD2000AC (not MK2) off eBay recently. The seller was honest about the defect but I was a little naive about the availability of information about the player online. I had to place my bid without having enough time to do some research in...

I am the original owner of a 6 disc Pioneer PD-M510 CD changer. It has been stored for several decades and worked fine when I stopped using it, sometime in the early aughts. I decided to get it out and see how it worked. Played a number of CDs and was having an issue with skipping and cleaned...

I have two 1980s CD players: a Sony CDP-210es and a Kyocera DA-310cx. I like the way they sound, though both have had occasional skipping problems. I was away for a couple of months, and when I came back, both were skipping worse. Letting them warm back up didn't help much. I read up on cleaning...

Hi! For a loooong time I had a turntable now but no real amp to pair it with. My dad had a very old Samsung (Smasnug as I like to call it) compact hifi thing wich had an aux in wich I used to amplify the signal from my turntable (with a cheap phono between the two). To finally end this age of...

Hello everybody! I am thinking about upgrading the digital section of my system. As of now it is made of a Pioneer PD S603 used as transport (optical out) and a Schiit Modius Dac, which I also use for streaming Tidal from a computer. The amp is a Unison Research Unico and the speaker as are...

Hello All, I have recently picked up a seemingly very nice 1988 Sony CDP-970 CD Player, and appear to have hit a snag attempting to repair it. The issue is that when I insert a disc, the mechanism that lifts the motor up to spin the disk does not come up all the way. Taking off the top clamp...

Good afternoon, I have a vintage sony CDP552ESD cd player, which works fine except that the laser is completely gone. Does anyone know what part do I need to look for, and where I can buy it? Thanks

Hello, I got an old (2002) RCA RP3755A CD player at Goodwill today and it does not work. I'm not quite sure why, I suspect the gears in the CD spinner or the playhead control need lubricating or something. No matter what the problem is, I need to disassemble it somehow. So far I've managed to...

Good day to everyone! I encountered an issue with the drive of a CD Discman, and I think this story might be useful to many fans of these players. I’d like to share the repair process of a CD Discman from the 2000s by Welltech. I bought it for a few euros as a non-working unit and brought it...

I have a Rotel RX-603 stereo receiver from the 1970s and a pair of Linton Wharfdale 3XP speakers. What improvement would I see if I replaced my BDP-S780 Blu-ray player for something like the Leak CDT plus a Topping D50s DAC? Also, these outputs are the ones I have on the Sony BDP s780, so I...

hi there. have a JVC XL-v161 CD player that I haven't used for a while because normally I preferred Vinyl's or tapes and it wasn't till recently I started buying more CD's. I went in to give it a listen the other day, and now the vocals of a song sound so far away and reverbed, like im hearing...

Hello! I have a vintage JVC radio combination CD and cassette player from the 90's. It is in mostly good order but has a problem with track navigation. Whenever I insert a disk and try to use the forward and back buttons to skip a track, the CD starts over from the beginning. Sometimes I can...

Hi all, It's been a long time since I last posted! I have the aforementioned CD player that I'm planning to sort out an issue but I have no service manual for it. The unit is a bit temperamental when it comes to reading CDs. Some work fine, some take a while to pick up (spinning sound goes on...

I need some guidance for removing the CD tray assembly to replace both belts on an MCD 7009. The tray wasn’t opening and I found the belts completely disintegrated. I have the front panel off, and removed the top plate of the CD tray. Do I have to remove the PCB cables and the boards to get to...

Hi great minds of AudioKarma, This is my first post (just in case you find it in wrong section). First of all poblem in question and later few words about myself. Issue: NAD 5220 CD player symptoms: powers up, loads discs, laser seems to be operational but disc does not spin, troubleshooting...

I picked up a Samsung DVD-C500 player from my local Goodwill to use as a CD Player for my bedroom system. Sound is fine. It plays CDs fine, except it's quite noisy. It just doesn't really work, to listen to quiet passages of music/recordings with good mastering. The spindle motor is loud. I'd...

Hi cd player enthusiasts, I have a Yamaha CDX-700 cd player I would like to get up and running, both belts were melted and replaced however it won’t play any CDs the cd transport doesn’t spin or attempt to do anything when play is pressed. It has a near full recap and motors lubed I also...

Hi all, I recently got a Philips CD960 CD player in very good condition unfortunately it’s not playing discs or the tray won’t eject when pressing the eject button. Fast forward and rewind not working either. Reading online, it appears it’s the same as a Marantz cd94 internally I have...

Hello friends I have no luck finding the 4 digit remote codes for a Luxman DZ-121 cd player. Any help appreciated. I found some 4 digit codes online no luck. Also tried the auto search method. I am using a GE universal remote.

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!
