Now, they say the main reason for turning down the volume control on your Amp, is so that when you switch your Amp back on, so you do not shock the output transistors with a sudden burst of high power.
Put it back in the trash!! I bought mine new and have used it since then, absolutely beautiful machine and sounds like angels singing…when it works. Ever since I bought it has been temperamental and won’t read the disc, I have taken it into numerous shops and had a part replaced and it still has never worked perfectly. Basically I found that once I get a good “boot up” just leave it on and it works. Best of luck.
Didn’t play for a long time it need to charge the old caps. You will need to clean the laser and lubricant the mechanism. Maybe replace some caps in the power supply.
You've done well Harvey, every component in your little system was on it's way to the tip..Those case screws look like those pesky security Torx things with the pip in the centre... No more taking the p*ss out of VER you know damn well he knows best..lol
That's a keeper, Harvey, a great unit. Do a video of you opening it up. Seems like all this unit needs is a service to the CD player and a good clean-up in side. As Paul, of PS Audio states, if the caps are nearly 20 years old then think of changing them. If the caps are 25 years old, or older, then you must change them. Yep, and we all know not to argue against Paul, not with his 50+ years in the High End Audio design and build HiFi business, for Paul definitely knows a thing or "Three" lol.
