Sony CD-P 750 player static noise
I've got a Sony CD player, model CD-P 750, which from one second
to the next developed a loud static noise on one channel (and a tiny bit on the other) when playing a CD. Changing audio cables made no difference. No bulging caps or other "burnt-up" components visible. Any ideas anyone before I throw it out? Thanks. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

You shill could have a cap shorting, just not permanent. Bad IC or semi. Take a can of component cooler, it to make some noise and start freezing IC's, then caps etc.. Jamie Gave the circuit board a good workout, and tried the component cooler, but no luck. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Try heating/cooling locally, to see if there is a broken solder connection somewhere. Bending the print in various places, to see if there are bad connections. Last resort, buy a new one. |

"Bert" I've got a Sony CD player, model CD-P 750, which from one second to the next developed a loud static noise on one channel (and a tiny bit on the other) when playing a CD. ** By static noises you mean the sound of heavy rain or surf - right ? Changing audio cables made no difference. No bulging caps or other "burnt-up" components visible. Any ideas anyone before I throw it out? ** Likely to be in the digital filter, DAC or audio circuits, since it is in one channel. Shame to toss well built gear like those old Sonys. I still have a CDP101 ( bought new in 1983 ) in good working and cosmetic order. ..... Phil |

If the problem is not the actual D/A converter, I would suspect the buffer transistor at the outputs. For this vintage of player, there sould be a couple of to-92 transistors just prior to the audio output jacks. Check/replace those.

Too many things going on at once. You are correct, I was referring to the muting transistors. Working on a buffer problem elsewhere at the moment and have buffers on the brain...
Sorry for the confusion. I have had these muting transistors cause odd behavior in the past though. Dan |

** By static noises you mean the sound of heavy rain or surf - right ?
The noise sounds like holding a small DC motor with bad brushes next to an AM radio. There is an 8-wire ribbon cable going from the CD unit to the circuit board, close to a Sony 7M01/CXA1081 chip. When holding my finger near the cable, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT, the noise diminishes, and the audio/music starts to crackle and break up. Touching 4 of the insulated ribbon wires lightly will instantly stop the player. When I ground my hand and THEN touch the same insulated wires, the noise stops also, but the audio - while continuing to play - becomes very distorted, and eventually stops as well. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Phil I had more than a dozen Sony units from that era - a fabulous Trinitron TV, lots of high-end Beta and VHS VCRs, including a nice SLV-R5U SVHS VCR. Except for a rarely used Hi8 EV-S7000, they and that CD-P 750 player are all history now. OTOH, I also still have a number of JVC units (high-end stereo, dual cassette, CD player...) from that same time period, and every single one still looks and functions like out of the box... --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Yes, particularly since parts are likely not available any longer now - but what do you do with them, even when in perfectly working condition? They were great for linear editing by providing a separate audio channel that could be edited without affecting the video, however while the EDIT switch was supposed to kill all on-screen text, you still ended up with some unwanted text on the finished video when pressing certain buttons while editing. Installing a small switch to shorten the on-screen dialog when editing fixed that. Regardless, they still look very impressive just sitting there on the shelf taking up space... --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
