Thanks for a great video. I was able to follow this in order to fix the tray loading belt in my NAD 5100 CD player. It was almost identical. The only issue was that the rubber suspension mounts came off when removing the disc unit and were a bit fiddly to get back.

Hi everyone, I use a product called Silvo, is a metal cleaner and in it´s formula contains a bit of silver. Once I open and disassemble a CD player, I change the belt (s) clean the pulleys and lubricate them. To the switches concern I get a small, clean piece of rag and pour a small ammount of the metal cleaner and rub all the contact sides, it's amazing how fast and well does the job, and leaves a small residue of Ag on the contacts that have it. Protects all metals aganist rust and it takes longer to get it back to the bench, if so. Quite usefull on coastal cities where salt is a monster. Greetings.

Smashing job :-D, the customer will be happy :-D. i repaired a multidisk unit with a big disk that rotated to select the correct c.d. There were lots of plastic peg switches under the disk, they were all snapped off. The bodge was to heat up copper wire and sink it in to what was left of the switches and slide/glue wire insulation on the copper wire, Worked fine then :-D Who says bodging don't work :-D

I also remember it depended what system you were using. Some DVD recorders would give you more record time then others. I had an LG DVD recorder with a 4gb DVD-R disc recorded in SP I'd get 2 hours 5 minutes but you could push it too 2 hours 7 minutes. But DVD+R on the same machine in SP mode id get 1 hour 53 minutes but you could push it too 1 hour 58 minute. I find that interesting these times were the same for DVD-RW and DVD+RW. Later down the road I ended up with a Panasonic machine were the times were completely different SP 2 hours and I could push it was 2 hours 3 minutes and that was all discs -R -RW +R +RW. It's really interesting how certain machines get more or less out of the disc. The Panasonic would also do DVD+R and DVD-R DL discs so time was double so 2 hour 3 minute SP recording would be a 4 hour 6 minute recording witch was cool. Another machine I had would record in 16:9 witch was awesome but it would only do it on DVD-Rs only and only the 4gb not the 8gb so it's all over the place with certain machines

Hi There, I have a good nad 5425 player. Then the incandescent light for the display went out. So I opened it up and replaced that incandescent light bulb with a white diffused LED with a 1k resistor. This unit was playing CD perfectly, even the worst condition CD would work. Now when I am done fixing the light and put back everything together, the CD would go in or out if I press the eject switch but when it is inside, it won't read the table of contents of the cd or spin. It was all ok before I opened this unit up. The track shows 0. I could not figure this out. So far I checked that the connectors are all connected. Did I miss something? Would you have any tips for me to check? I really like this player. Thanks in advance.

I have a question: I have a JVC CD player that only plays when I prop the unit up at a 45 degree angle with some books. As soon as I let it down flat, it starts to skip a lot and then stops within 5 seconds. Right before it stops, it makes a swishing mechanical sound as if the CD is not spinning freely on the spindle. Any suggestions on what it might be? Thanks in advance, Eddie
@12voltvids5 жыл бұрын
More than likely it is the spindle motor. The bearing is worn and allows the disk to wobble. Turn it on an angle and the weight shifts causing the disk to settle down.

Cold white or blue would definitely suit that display much better..or even that lovely olive green like the old JVC VCR's used to have. Honestly, I was never a big fan of NAD. I know they had that whole 'sound over style' philosophy, but would it have really killed them to make aesthetically attractive equipment that didn't look like industrial control switchgear? :l

Anything that can be used to record audio is hit. That includes all audio tape, minidisk, DAT, CD-R CD-rW. The audio specific CD disks had an even higher per unit tax than the computer grade CD. At .40 per CD that adds an additional 40.00 to the cost of a 100 disk spindle at the cash register.

7 years is the shelf life I have heard is what most flash memory is rated at before read reliability becomes a concern. On the bright side the memory management inside USB sticks and SD cards should automatically move the data to a different area of the memory, which would refresh the charge in the memory cells.
@gavincurtis6 жыл бұрын
Kyodai, depends on their storage temperature. NAND FLASH memory at room temperature have an estimated data integrity life of 10-30 years; some guaranteeing only 5 years which is about the range of what 12voltvids mentioned. Higher the temperature, the faster the electrons "leak" from their wells. The USB memory stick itself will be fine, just the data is corrupt. In very cold temperatures, the storage can extend up to 100-300 years based on estimations. The old windowed UV EPROM chips have a longer integrity.... about 30-70 years. We rebuild equipment with some types of Motorola FLASH memory where we see data corruption in just a few years!
@Bushougoma6 жыл бұрын
Then there's FRAM which has even faster write times than Flash and even longer data retention 150 years at 65 C. It gives you the fast write speed of SRAM and the nonvolatile data retention of EEPROM. It's also capable of 100 trillion read / write cycles something Flash can't even dream of. I've used the FM18W08 to replace dead Dallas battery backed SRAM modules in older test gear. The prices Maxim are charging for them are getting ridiculous enough to justify the time and effort. It's not a drop in replacement and you do need to design an SOIC to DIP adapter board with some glue logic in many cases but after it's all said and done. No more batteries to worry about. The downside is the data density is nowhere near flash but it's still a developing technology.

Modern DVD players will play mp3 data disks but audiophiles will never use one of those. They seek out specific CD players with specific DAC chips from Philips and BurrBrown ect. There is a huge sound quality difference between various CD players, and collectors tend to look for specific models that have had good reviews.

Finializong writes the TOC or table of contents and is a reserved area that is reserved, well for the TOC. You can't record anything in there. That is where information as to where each track starts is stored, or your file table for CDROM disk. Also the first track has to have a 2 second lead in where the index is set to 0. Then it goes to index 1 when the counter hits - 0:0:0 and starts counting up. Normally there is a 2 second index 0 placed between the tracks where the sound is muted on index 0. This disk has no space between the tracks.
