Teac cd-w54e Hi if I buy a refurbished burner for a Tascam cc-222 will I need new firmware

try a CD cleaner sound like laser eye could be dirty

Can you buy a new one

Here you go

Products Recorder Player Cassette deck CC 222MKIII

The door won't open might be a sign that there is a bad belt in the mechanism as the pickup may also be driven or positioned by the same belt- It may need to be looked at by a Technician.

Where can I get a manual for a tascam cd-rw 788 burner ?

Is there a CD stuck in the unit? Did you push the tray to close? If non of the above you must remove and open the top to see what happened

You need to verify that the signal going IN to the recorder is ok. There are a number of ways you can do this, the simplest and cheapest is to get another recording device you know works, that takes the same connectors, and test using that. Something like a cassette deck, or whatever a church member may have at home. If that works, you've determined that its the Tascam, if not, then you need to trace back to see where the signal failure is occurring.

Either the player doesn't except this format which many don't read burnt discs. If it plays factory made discs, than it doesn't except burnt formats. If it doesn't read any discs, than the laser eye may need to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol and cotton swab

Can be purchased directly from Tascam in California. The part number is V00169700A-$149.80. They are havng trouble keeping this item in stock. It looks like a laptop drive with an adapter.
