Hi everybody.
I've got a strange problem regarding my CompactDisc-Player DX6810 by
Onkyo. When I insert a disc, it spins up for about 3-4 seconds and
then simply runs out. It isn't stopped, the spindle motor just stops
turning. The track display then reads "0" and nothing else is
displayed, i.e. the calendar is empty and there's nothing like "no
disc" or else.

Here's what I've tried up to now:
- Changed the Pickup
- Changed the spindle motor
- Checked lubrication
- Checked FE and TE
- Checked the DC servos for spindle- and pickup-motor

Everything seems to be OK. I also watched the eye pattern on an
oscilloscope. It isn't a complete grid, but I think that is ok while
reading the TOC. Gain is ok and it's not overly noisy.
I also read the Troubleshooting-Guide by Mr Goldwasser from top to end
but now I'm stuck. Hope anybody here has some more ideas. I'll try to
support you as best as I can with more information or measurement
results.

Best regards and many thanks in advance,

Lasse
