Sony CDP-C325
Hi all,
I have a Sony CDP-C325 5 CD carousel player with a problem. When changing discs, sometimes the new disc won't start playing. The scenario is: - whatever disc is playing finishes - the disc stops spinning and lowers into the carousel - the carousel rotates the new disc into position - the new disc raises from the carousel - the track calendar displays the tracks of the new disc - "Track 1" appears on the main display - then nothing The newly raised disc does not start to spin, the play clock does not display and the unit just hangs until it is manually taken out of "play" mode. This can be done by stopping/restarting, changing tracks without stopping or even just by seeking within track 1. As soon as that hung "play" mode is cancelled, the disc will spin up and play normally. The problem is not tied to any nest, it happens about 50% of the time on any change - occurring both on sequential disc advance and on manual disc selection which can change to any nest. The unit has been in the local repair shop twice. The technician first replaced the laser module (unnecessarily I now believe) which did not help and now claims he can't find anything wrong. I really don't want to take it back to him but there aren't any other repair shops close by. My unit is 10 years old and I know it isn't worth spit - a replacement can be had for $100. But right now I'm ****ed off and I want to know what's wrong with it. Has anyone seen behavior similar to this and, if so, do you know the cause? Thanks everyone, George -- for email reply remove "/" from address |
