Pioneer PD-M423 CD Player Questions & Answers
Cd loads but motor don't engage
In some cases the linking flexible cord for the motor drive can be open/torn and so the motor will not work. Since the panle moves all the times this cord being flexible can breaks off in a period of time. So look carefully after opening the top panel and if this is confirmed then the wires can be looped to work.
Check the motor using an external voltage , check continuity of the cord. If not the drive or the output to the drive IC is absent.
Where does the cables from the cd player connect
Depends on the capabilities of the device you're connecting it to.
Typically, the analog Audio Out RCA cables would go to any corresponding Line Level input; the coaxial- or optical-digital audio would go to any compatible connectors on the receiving unit.
Cd player
pioneer cd players have the common problem of losing their laser lens
due to the glue that holds it in place going brittle over time. try
shaking the player from side to side and upside down to see if you can
hear the lens rattling about. if you recover the lens, very carefully
slot it back in place and apply a tiny drop of glue (NOT SUPERGLUE) to
the outside edge of the lens taking care not to get any on the focus
area and leave to dry. all should be well after this. i find UHU GLUE
in the yellow tubes do a lasting fix but don't use SUPERGLUE as the
fumes will coat the lens.
hope this helps?
