CD player will not work in my Thomas Pacconi TPC-MSE-800

I have a Thomas Pacconi Classic Millennium Series model TPC-MSE-800. The radio and cassette player both work fine but the cd play will not play a cd. I can open and close the cd door. When I put a cd in the player you can hear it start after you push play but after a few seconds an E shows on the cd lcd readout and the player clicks off. The lcd play light goes out when this happens.

SOURCE: Not Recognising a CD

I got a second hand 541 a few weeks ago. After many hours of listening pleasure an no problems at all, the machine stopped spinning CD's, both copied ones and original ones.

The sollution for my problem was simple after some figuring out.

Open the CD tray.
Power off the unit with the tray open.
Open it up.
In the CD frame in the back there are 2 srews that hold the CD engine unit in place. I untidied these screws just a little bit.
I also untidied the screws that hold the cd clamp cover on the top a little.

After this it loads all my CD's fine again.

SOURCE: Can't close door of CD on Sony CMT-CP1

Mine had the same fault. The CD is being rejected as it could not load up - this is probably because of the CD loading mechanism.

You'll need to unplug and remove the case - 4 screws on the sides and 4 or 5 on the back. Once this is done plug back in (be careful not to touch any live parts inside), load a CD and watch. What you'll probably see is that when the drawer closes the mechanism under the drawer doesn't lift sufficiently. Give it small push when it tries and I bet it then will and the CD will play.

What you need to do to fix this is remove the front panel/PCB and also remove the plastic cover that is screwed above the CD drawer so that you can see more of the topside of the mechanism.

Remove the front panel/PCB by releasing the 2 screws on the bottom and then easing forward. Gentle - as there are pins connecting the front PCB to the side PCB. You should then be able to see a worm drive type arrangement that lifts the lower assembly. This will need regreasing (I used vaseline) with a small stick (I used a Q-tip with the bud cut off). You will probably see where the old grease has been pushed out. Once you've done this, reassemble and operate a good few times to work the grease in.

Done! Mine works fine now after sitting there performing the annoying trick you described for many months!

My thomas pacconi model: tpc-hd-12 will not play cds. bought used, and am/fm radio works, cassette player works, phonograph works.

This is very common as unfortunately the quality of the CD player means they rarely last as long as the the rest of the unit. Sometimes it is just dust on the laser lens and being at the bottom of the unit they will collect any dust that falls from above and the lens isn't easy to clean.

If you load a CD and hear it beginning to spin and the onscreen message indicates it is trying to read the disc but eventually fails and stops - it is probably either dust or a poor laser.
Both are a dismantling job and a replacement laser requires a professional - consequently people tend to consign them to garage sales and move onto the next hifi.

I have a Thomas Pacconi Model TPC-MSE-807 turntable. The Power/Volume Control has gone on it.

Look on the data plate to see if there is a voltage and current draw value on it. The switch should be rated at 120 Vac @ 10 A.

How can i repair my radio that seems to get no power when i turn it on

Most likely it's a capacitor fault.

Google "Capacitor bulge" and then search Youtube for your make and model to see if anyone has done an instructional video. You'll need to be comfortable dismantling the unit and be able to use a soldering iron. If this isn't you then take it to a repair shop.

Thomas pacconi # tpc-mse-800-o (no power)why is there no power getting through hole unit?

Since you have no sound even on radio, it's not going to be a bad tt motor. There is no fuse except for a thermal fuse inside power transformer. I would start with a continuity check accross both of the blades on the plug. If it's open, you prob have a bad power transformer.

Thomas Pacconi Model TPC-MSE-800 turntable runs slugglish. 78 runs fine but 45 or 33 runs slow. I removed belt cleaned it and platter. I put a drop on oil still same problem. Do I need a new belt? This is...

Pjam,
Had the same problem & checked around on the net. Several people tried replacing the belt, but it had no effect. Spoke w/ several repair shops around the country and they concur with what I'd read on the net - bad motors. 3 or 4 repair/supply shops told me getting a motor would be impossible. Since I only listen to 33-1/3 LP's, I messed around w/ it a little and found a solution. Take the turntable out of the unit & you will find a small circuit board attached to the bottom. On that board is a small square blue fixture w/ a white circular "dial" in the middle (has grooves to accept a small straight blade or a phillips screw driver). This controls the voltage to the motor, which in turn controls the motor RPM's. If you set the selector switch to 78, you can experiment /w turning that white circular "dial" to slow the motor down. It isn't very hard to get the speed set properly. The down side is that you will only be able to play 33-1/3 LP's, but they are probably the most common anyways. I assume you could do the same to set the speed for a 45, rather than a 33-1/3. Down side is that you will only be able to play 1 size LP on the 78 speed setting, but it's an easy adjustment that can keep an otherwise in-op turntable functioning. Good luck!
