Sony CDP101 repair
" I have two such machines
that refuse to read a couple of my CDs, or, if they have tracks extending all the way out to the edge, the player won't play the final 2-3 tracks." Have you tried increasing the focus tracking gain ? Or can you even do that on that unit ? |

-------------------------- The reason I liked the Sony carousels is that for several model years they had variable line output - controlled via the headphone jack volume. Something about my music sounded better when I used variable line out set about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up, vs. full output through the fixed outs, and just turned my receiver volume up a bit higher. ** The max output level of CD players was specified (by the famous Red Book) as 2Vrms to make sure the possible signal to noise ratio was not compromised by noise. This was 10dB to 20dB higher that most other signal sources, like tuners and cassette decks. Amps and receivers made since 1983 normally have special CD inputs that accommodate the higher level but earlier stuff often does not fare too well - possibly suffering overload at the input and/or making the normal volume control settings very low. ......

Phil Allison:
"Maximum output of CD players" ______ That should be just the peaks, not what it is outputting at all times. Still, because of how a lot of CDs are mastered, now and even back then, it's hard to get a *reasonable* listening volume without keeping the volume low. A lot of early(pre-1990) transfers to CD used manual gain riding, because I noticed the softer portions of the same songs on vinyl still had the same dynamics, but were just louder than I remembered them being. In lieu of those older carousels that have trouble reading entire long CDs, I just use a slightly newer(2000) Sony changer with a pair of these: https://www.parts-express.com/Data/D...6-244_HR_0.jpg |

The MAX output of typical 1970s/80s tuners and cassette decks 250mV rms. The input sensitivity to rated power of most stereo amps and receivers is the same. ...... Phil |

Wrong continent. Phil's in Australia. I can go (me thinks) quiet comfort with an american redneck-yankee rep eating squirrels... they are not the same as Phil, but very similar. So, in America or in Australia (an Allison Dotterbush, viking ****ed maybe for example, now living in .au or .us), makes not the big difference... The correct way of addressing Australians is "For ****'s sake, not in the sink." (From the National Lampoon Encyclopedia of Humor, circa 1975) I have heard in the Radio in the last days, that someone got trapped in his own trap he laid out for trapping/killing birds in australia and died.....

In most cases, my illusions were better than their reality. After far too many disappointments, I gave up trying. Of course, you're welcome to continue guessing from where I gave up. I think you are a hard battling fellow campaigner. Having someone like you on the side is a strong backing. I like your patience going with Phil. Let's get back to electronics..... (I know, Phil is not so bad in electronics -off course, not! But he has not quiet a chance when taking ppl like Eyeore, Terell and Winfried Hill into account, who live in usenet too ;-)) ) -- Daniel Mandic |

Behind the keyboard, he could be the reincarnation of Vlad the Impaler, and I would still say nice things about his troubleshooting and experience. From your lips to PHIL'S ears.

Greetings Jeff, You are so right when it comes to meeting people and them speaking differently than they write. I know I sound much different in person than what you would probably expect from what I write. For one, I proofread almost everything I post and this gets rid of most errors, not only spelling but also of politeness and etiquette. This error checking may make me seem more erudite. Or maybe I should say almost erudite. Sometimes I'll write something when I'm agitated and then don't post it because the act of writing is enough, I don't need to post. In person I might just shoot my mouth off and then later have to apologize to someone. I find it is much easier to get my foot out of my mouth when writing something than when speaking in person to someone. In fact, almost nobody reading my posts notices that my breath can smell a little like dirty socks now and then. Cheers, Eric |
