thanks @mlsstl I am looking for easy steps to try, if they won't work, that will be the end of it. Nobody will diagnose it under a $100, I won't throw good money after bad.
how to fix a CD player
I bought an Onkyo CD player from my once favorite source (I start to suspect they auction stuff out from electronic recycling.)
It's playing for a few minutes and then stops. I can't go to the next track, the display in the front is dim. I was wondering if its' easy to fix (easy steps to try), there is a repair kit on ebay for $15.
It's probably 10 years old, otherwise in good shape. (I thought I could sell my current CD player, keep this one, and cash $80 or so for an upgrade for another component.
Or is it best not to waste my time and ditch this thing? It's C-7030, reviews are mixed, when it comes to reliability, not so kind.
Thanks your for your insight

I would try a can of compressed air, available at most Office Depot stores. Open the case and blow out the transport mechanism and try to clean the lens by blowing across not directly at as that can sometimes distort the lens cover. If that doesn’t help then I would look for another player. Maybe if you have a good DAC the run the digital out, if so equipped, and that can increase your SQ. Good luck. |
thanks @theo and @jasonbourne71 I will try those suggestions! |
