Yamaha CDX-1030 Transport?
I have a Yamaha CDX-1030 (bought it when it came out) that works great but for some reason the transport mechanism brings in the CD but only raises the hinged lower half part way which doesn't allow it to close on the CD. There isn't anything interfering with this mechanism because I can both lift the lower part or tilt the entire player allowing the capture of the CD and all plays fine. What lifts this lower half of the assembly? A solenoid? I can purchase a whole new assembly but that costs about $200.
Does anyone have an idea on what specifically is wrong or what I can do to fix or further investigate this issue? Thanks for any help/advice anyone can give.

It is one of the belts that needs replacing. The belt has lost some of its tension, which is causing it not to pull the tray assembly upwards hard enough. You can 'turn' the belt inside out as an intermediate solution.
Be careful with the 4 springs underneath the assembly that keeps the assembly afloat. Pay particular attention to where each spring is from, and put the exact spring back in that location. This can be extremely crucial!!! On some decks the 4 spring each has its own spring tension. If you mix it up, the assembly might not be damped correctly afterwards.

You can try Yamaha and if they don't have any, then try online part stores like TigerDirect.

It's 4:00 A.M. — some chill tunes on the CDX-1020. No preamp, just a passive attenuator feeding my Trio/Kenny L-05M mono amps. You just have to love the CDX; I can hear just the pure sound in High Bit Direct. BTW, the digital volume is cranked all the way. It is perhaps an arguable point, but the passive attenuator may be the way to control volume as opposed to the Digital Volume button. Any comments? Is digital attenuation a lossy sort of deal?

LB_13 The 890 is a nice player in close family with the CDX-880, I do not know if they also share opamps. if I stumble over the info i will let you know.
Lorne at the moment i also run my CD-5050 straight to the M-85, using the digital volume control. It sounds nice and is handy with the remote control.

Does anyone have a Service Manual or a part number for a transport belt for the Yamaha CDX-1030 CD player? I turned the belt over but it has a square cross-section and it still slipped. I did clean both belt pullys and the belt, so I am hoping to be able to find a new belt (2mm x 2mm x 62mm pulled over the end of a steel scale).

Sadly, I don't have the reemo-kon as it's called here. And the digi is turned all the way up while attenuation and balance are controlled by a pot for each channel.
I thought about doing that too. Are you using an attenuated buffer or a full boogey preamp? I've got my mind on the former and may look for plans.

I had the same trouble once in another brand, so I used the rib end of a condom — unused I may add.
It worked for a couple of years until a pro-techie roared his head off and then proceeded to install one that he had in stock. If you continue to have trouble, photo the exact space and the belt itself. The local Yamaha store here in Sendai is for musicians, but the manager has proprietary computer access to the service manuals, and he can order parts. Yamaha service manuals are strictly limited access items, so you have to find one out there on the planet. My attempts to order an SM from Yamaha directly failed dismally. Pioneer on the other hand send me a photocopy of a vintage SM in the mail. And the local Sony depot photocopied the circuit and foil diagram of my CD-222ES as I stood in the lobby!
Thanks
I'm amazed over the soundquality I get from CDX-890.
My OP-modded Pioneer PD-S505 is now degraded to the bedroom system.

Hi All-
Pulled out some of old gear from over the years- I must be getting sentimental!!!
I bought my CDX-810U brand new in 1988, and as I recall after a while it had issues getting disks to load and recognise. I put it away and replaced it with a DVD player, and then eventually with an SACD Player.
I pulled the transport out, and cleaned up all the crusted grease from the rails and used some deoxit on switches. It seems to recognise disks nicely now and play them, but it will balk at CD-R's. I can coax it to play a CD-R, by advancing track forward ad trying to play, and usually after 3 or 4 tries it will play, but making seek noises.
Is there ANY hope for this? Would the laser be the culprit? I did a look see at the laser assembly and its a TAOHS-JP3. I found one listing for it- but over $250!!!! Any other thoughts?
Thank You
Chris

You might be able to use the TAOHS-KP1 instead of the JP3, but you will have to modify it a little.
Another thing you can try is to clean the laser you have, but you have to be carefull with this opration.

All my system is vintage gear up to 40 years old, so a couple of years ago I set out to try and change out electrolytic capacitors. Now that my CDX-1020 is in the 20 year bracket, I'm thinking about it being a candidate as well. I'm reluctant when I see all the very sweet caps that it originally came with, and I'd be hesitant to change out for anything less than the original. I was thinking that the power supply might be the first target. Has anyone charted these waters?
BTW — I don't want to start the usually vigorous push and pull over whether cap change-outs are good or, or not. It could wreck the thread, and anyway other forums have thrashed this to death. But I would like to know if anyone has worked on their boards. And if they have, can they offer any comments about what happened and what they may or may not have heard as a result?

I have a CDX-730 that occasionally won't skip to later tracks when playing the first few tracks. It will try and then give up and just stop the disc.
Clean the laser?
