(audio) CD Player woes
Can anyone offer me any advice on this one?
My Denon CD player fails to "see" a disk. If you tap hard on the "door" it will register the disk & play perfectly. On dismantling the mechanism, it seems that the loading / chucking motor has got lazy. There is a limit switch to detect when the disk tray is fully extended & fully retracted. The problem seems to be that when retracting the tray, the drive runs out of steam before it drives the mechanism to the end stop. Getting to my question (finally) - the voltage applied to the motor is only 2V. Does this seem low ? I'm wondering whether there is a fault in the drive electronics rather than the motor, even though it seems to do the right things, just not with enough "umph". Regards Andrew |

Need model number. Sounds more like a loose loading belt though.

But 2 V does indeed sound too low so would check that the motor isn't partially shorted (probably unusual for a loading motor though) and that the power supply is working. --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Home Page: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Site Info: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: The email address in this message header may no longer work.

Sorry, should have been more specific. CD Player is a Denon DCD 600.
Haven't found any identifying marks on the machanical sub assembly. Thanks for the advice - will try to get a replacement belt. Andrew |

It is indeed just the loading belt slipping. If you open the drawer, then turn off the power &
manually push the drawer halfway back in, you can plainly see & access the loading belt under the tray cutout at the front of the mech. I recall it being a 5.6" circumferance, and about 3mm thick. -- Stephen Sank, Owner & Ribbon Mic Restorer Talking Dog Transducer Company http://stephensank.com 5517 Carmelita Drive N.E.

Your recollection was a bit out - the new belt is 35mm dia & 1mm in cross section. *However, your diagnosis was absolutely 100%* A new belt (at a cost of under 2 dollars) has achieved a fix & saved me the cost of a new mid-range CD player. I am very grateful for your help Andrew |
