20 Most Recent TDK DA-3826 2-Disc CD Recorder - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Cleaning will not help if it plays fine and does not record.

The previous owner was right, those can only record on "Music CD-R or Audio CD-R" . If it does not have that printed on the disc, it willnot record with it. many people think that a CD-R they use in the computer will work, but they won't. So make sure you are not using a CD-R meant for a computer.

Try using Sony, they work good for me on most all recorders I repair.

If that does not work, you may just need it to be serviced, or take it back to the guy you bought it from and get your money back. He sold you a bad recorder. They are very exspensive to repair most of the time.

Sorry I did not have better news, good luck and let me know if you need any more help.

This message usually indicates that a non-audio disc is in the record tray. Please use only blank music CD-R or CD-RW media. Refer to page 12 of the owners manual for more information regarding acceptable media type for the DA-3826. Also, the laser lens in your CD might be dirty or failing. Try the following solutions: Clean the laser lens with a CD player lense cleaning disc. Lense cleaning discs are available at many electronics retail store. Sorry i can't help you more.

Skipping can be the loss of tracking information or a bad motor. Try cleaning the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol. Also, look at the rails that the optics ride on. clean those using a dry cotton swab. There should be small gears close by that move the optics along the rails. Make sure that the teeth are clear.

Keep us posted on your results.

Data cds will not work with this recorder.
You must use music or digital audio cd's when recording!

maybe its the format of the material that is recorded on the disk. I.E. maybe MP3 when you should have used CD audio format or some such problem.

Can I record a record album to a cd?

Is the motor spinning to try to open the drawer?Can you hear it? Can you get something under the tray edge to try to 'help' it out when pressing eject?

Yes it will record from the tape outputs of an amp. It finalizes at double speed which in this units case is approx. 2 minutes.

You need to use an audio CDr, data or computer CDr's will not work in this machine. I don't know this specific machine, but usually you select the input, then 'rec type' eg manual,1 track or 1 disc,then press record to get into record pause,start your source,then press play on the unit to start recording. To finalize, you press finalize then either the play or rec button to start the finalize process.

Try a different disc brand.You could have a failing record laser.

No im afraid not my freind Sorry

If your TDK NX-4CD has no volume and the CD door does not open, here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check the mute function: Make sure the unit is not set to mute. Look for a dedicated mute button on the unit or on the remote control and ensure it is not activated. If there is no dedicated mute button, check the volume controls and settings to ensure they are not turned all the way down or set to minimum levels.
2. Reset the system: Perform a system reset by disconnecting the power source from the TDK NX-4CD. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and leave it unplugged for at least 10-15 minutes. This will allow the unit to fully power down and reset. After the waiting period, plug the power cord back in and test if the volume issue is resolved.
3. Check the speaker connections: Ensure that the speaker wires are securely connected to the appropriate terminals on the back of the unit. Sometimes loose or disconnected speaker wires can result in no sound. Additionally, check for any visible damage to the speaker wires and repair or replace them if necessary.
4. Clean the CD player mechanism: If the CD door does not open when pressing the Open button, it could be due to a mechanical issue. Gently clean the CD player mechanism using compressed air or a soft cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be obstructing the door's movement. Be careful not to force the door open to avoid causing further damage.
5. Seek professional repair: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it may indicate a more significant problem with the internal components of the TDK NX-4CD. In such cases, it is advisable to contact a professional audio equipment repair service or contact TDK customer support for further assistance. They will have the expertise and specialized tools to diagnose and repair the specific issues with your unit.

It's important to note that attempting any repairs or disassembling the unit yourself may void any existing warranty and could potentially cause further damage. Therefore, if you are not comfortable with electronics repair, it is best to seek professional assistance.

MMMmm, bummer. The earphone CABLES look rather small and vulnerable? IF you move the CABLE NEAR the connecter do you hear any sound? How about up at the earphones themselves? If you wiggle the cable are there any sounds? There HAS to be a 'open circuit' somewhere? Maybe the volume was set too high and the LEFT earphone happened to blow out? And perhaps it's time to treat yourself to a NEW headset with a MUCH better and substantial connecting cable? Anthony

I am very interested in this issue

Hold down the A33 and AUX button together for 5 seconds. The A33 should flash the volume LEDs and then reset and turn off. Let the speakers remain off for 10 seconds before turning it back on. The unit powers on in the AUX mode and you should be able to press Bluetooth and pair the unit with your device.
