Philips MCM570 CD Shelf System Questions & Answers
Have had this item now
You can try to open the unit and clean the cd laser with a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. Unplug unit and find the laser be carefull not to press ******* the laser eye you can also try to use a camera bulb that you squeeze to blow air on the laser as there could be a speck of dust on the lens this may work its worth a try. If the cd still is not picking up then the laser or the buffing board maybe bad! Give it a try hope this helps good luck.
Just clicks and wont turn on
Hi Justin6992,
You have been very honest and told us the facts behind the fault, thanks for your good fault description...
Now what you have done by flicking that little switch is:-
Altered the input power design of the stereo system.
The switch is there so that the user can connect it to either the USA power supply of 110-120 volts, or connect to the Australian/New Zealand power supply of 230-240 volts.
When you turned the switch over you lowered the input to 110-120 volts yet it was still plugged into a 230-240 volt power supply.
This has blown a component inside the power supply and
now it must be replaced.
This is a specialised replacement process by a service man..
The clicking sound is made by the internal power supply (Its called a switched mode power supply) and it has detected the blown component and it is trying to reset itself automatically for you, but it cant because of the faulty component.
Its very clever in its design and if it wasnt clicking there would have been quite a loud 'bang" and a lot of smoke when the switch was moved to 110-120 volt position.

The skipping problem you are experiencing may be related to the shaft that the laser assy rides on. It may need a little greasing with silicon grease, just a litte bit. Or it could be the spindle motor is wobbling as it turns. If you are a little tech savy, then you can order a new CD drive assy through Ebay and swap it out when it arrives. If you get this far you need to know how to remove the solder short on the new assy otherwise the new drive will not work.

Why doesn't my Philips CDR820 copy a disc when I press "copy cd" then the "yes" button?
If your Philips CDR820 is not copying a disc when you press the "copy cd" button and then the "yes" button, there could be several reasons why this is happening. Here are some possible solutions you can try:
- Check the disc: Make sure the disc you are trying to copy is not scratched, dirty, or damaged. If it is, try using a different disc.
- Check the blank disc: Make sure the blank disc you are using is compatible with your Philips CDR820. Check the user manual for compatible disc formats.
- Clean the laser lens: If the laser lens is dirty, it may not be able to read the disc properly. Use a cleaning disc to clean the lens.
- Update the firmware: Check if there is an available firmware update for your Philips CDR820. If there is, download and install it to see if it fixes the issue.
- Reset the device: Try resetting the device by unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes, then plugging it back in and trying to copy a disc again.
If none of these solutions work, it may be a hardware issue that requires professional repair. In that case, you may need to contact Philips customer support or a qualified technician for assistance.
Philips System 500 Hi-Q dictation machine squeaks on record.
If your new tapes squeak while recording, there could be misalignment in the record path or it could be worn. Curious that no tapes were supplied with the machine. Perhaps you can take the machine to the vendor to demonstrate operation with squeaking.
