This unit, TEAC PD-D850, is having difficulties playing audio CD-Rs. Not
every CD-R has
problems, only some of them and the problem consists in not locking into
the
tracks. The strange thing is that the CD-Rs are all of the same brand,
same
manufacturing date and even from the same canister!(TDK 48X, 80min). I
opened the unit thinking that perhaps the signal gain need to be slightly
adjusted. I found 4 potentiometers called:
1. T-OFFSET
2. T-GAIN
3. E F/BAL
4. FREERUN
I tried to adjust them with no avail. Any leads? What is the difference in
the signal between a normal CD and a CD-R?
Thank you very much,
Gene



CD-Rs have a variety of differences, in a nutshell they're more difficult to
read. If you fiddled with those pots, the CD player may well now be
misaligned to the extent that it will never work very well again.
