In a Philips CDR755, year 2000. Working fine previous time of use and
then nothing at the next use. Turned out to be a 1N5406 size package
SB360 3amp 60V shottky diode gone short circuit on the LV side for the
5V rail. No other colateral damage (not tried recording a CD yet but
both decks play) ,

Beware when attempting to record on one of these. Most if not all
Philips CD recorders need the disc that you are attempting to record on
to be a "CDR-Audio" type, which has an 'electronic watermark' to say
that duty has been paid. These are getting a bit rare to get hold of in
shops now, but still readily available online.

Yes, my checking out came to a halt at that statement. I'll have to ask
the owner, next time I see him, where he gets those 2010s blanks. All I
know is he has no difficulty in getting hold of 1920s jazz records
