my cd player drawer opens and then closes all in one motion, it won’t just
stay open. So if I want to put a disc in I have to throw it in the tray
while it’s moving or it will just close up immediately. Any thoughts on
this situation? thanks!

Thanks for the video. Same thing wrong with my Yam 565, Lube would not work
alone so I put belt dressing on the belt that raises the laser and it
seemed to work.

The tension on the topmost screw has to be just right. To tight and the cog
will not turn.

I have a Sony Mini Hi-Fi Component System (MHC-RX30) that I recently hooked
up following about a two-year “rest”; everything works fine except CD
function; although it is fully loaded with all three disc’s, it simply
won’t play, and it reads “no disc”: any help/suggestions? Thank You….

How can I connect Philips DVD player with Sony MHC-Vx301

Eric Barr says:

Sorry, professional CD players with a platter like the Numark CDX probably
have some different parts to the drawer and laser than a standard CD
player, so I really don’t know.

Watcher3223 says:

Your problem is most likely caused by a slipping belt and it appears that
you can’t get to it unless you remove the entire traverse assembly from the
player chassis and look underneath the traverse. By the look of the player,
it must have come from the mid-late 1980s, so the original belt is likely
over 15 years old. Old enough for a belt to be stretched out loose and
dried up. A better fix would be to clean out all the excess grease, remove
the paper shim and replace the belt.

KailTrueman says:

what if my dvd player has like a double grinder thing that jams when pushed
in or out? I don’t know how to explain it…but it’s likethis white slider
thing and a jagged looking gear and a circular one that pops out if you
force it in. The gear and circle thing work together and the white thing
moves side to side when the tray goes in. But it goes in like a tiny bit
and then stops.

Do you know maybe how to fix motor from numark cdx? Mine is not spinning

blaizejosh says:

Which type of CD-Players are better, CD Players that use drawers or CD
Players that use a pop-up lid? What is the pop-up lid on a CD-Player,
called? (For example the pop-up lid, on top of the old school Sony Play
Station)

do you know how to fix cd drawer and lens? my hifi brands AIWA Z-KR 800.

rudegirl992003 says:

what do you do when it doesn’t read the disc??

Rebeccah Gadlin says:

YAY! After watching your video I was able to fix my dvd door that was
jammed. It wasn’t the same exact fix, but you took me down the right path.
After several hours of searching youtube and getting the “broken band” fix,
I was so happy to see your video! Thank you, you saved me some money! 🙂

the door works like the ps3

solomon911 says:

what if the magnet is the problem, that the problem in my dvd player, if
theres no disk in, the magnet will prevent it from working

Gonzoidzz says:

cant have the cd on random because it just opens. 15 year old AIWA ZVM280.
I despise mp3 so I’m stuck with it.

Nerozumim says:

Hello, I have two broken CD-I players, one being sent as a replacement to
the other (of Ebay), both broken. One has the door ejects and close fine,
but once the cd is inside I hear many crackling noises and a error message.
The other has the door jammed (feeble motor sound, remains closed). Which
one sounds like the most easy to repair?

fishtails0408 says:

Player was able to do it on its own. Whoops pressed enter there by mistake:)

normie x says:

great guide – thanks !

themack355 says:

my cd player says that if I open the back, there’s a risk of electrical
shock. is that just for if it’s plugged in? ive had it unplugged for days,
what do you think?

Eric Barr says:

sounds like either maybe the gears slipped so that the tray is not geared
correctly, or else maybe there’s something blocking the tray when its
shutting. Either way, I think you should open it up and try to watch what
its doing when it tries to close. If there isn’t anything physically
blocking it, then you should probably 1) take the tray out, 2) press open
to make sure that the gear is where it should be for the open position, 3)
put the tray back in in the open position, 4) try closing

blaizejosh says:

Thanks. I would have to agree with the CD Players that use a pop-up lid,
because you don’t have to risk a chance at getting your CD stuck in the
machine.
