Steepletone BT SMC386 pro comp CD is not reading.

    hello, what PC is this. IT IS NOT A Computer, at all , it is a
    Steepetone BT SMC386 home music system.

    no CD told what is on that CD on the TOP of the CD.



    I am now reading your manual to you (googled) it is hORRID manual. specs there stink bad.
    it tells me this.
    it will read a CD-DA (try music disk) format and MP3 and rip that to Cassette or to USB memory stick
    CD-DA means compact disk, digital audio and is not in File format. it is only tracks. as seen in stores
    called (lamely) music disks.
    but today we have music on MP3, even sold on amazon or even WAV or FLAC.

    IT does not copy any music to CD-r.


    what means. pro comp CD ? I've no clue nor does google show any results.
    what does that mean>?

    for a fact I can hold in my hands 100 CD disks (if careful 3 will work if bit rate is not ******* per below)
    and only one plays CD_DA.(in your box,) but on MY PC all play or work in some way)
    see what I mean by what CD is that?

    it does play CD DA
    and MP3/WMA DISCS

    there is a limit
    MP3 BIT RATE : 32 KBPS~256 KBPS AND WMA BIT RATE : 32 KBPS ~ 320 KBPS

    super bad manual for spec.
    they do not spec the limits on the toy grade CD drive at all only by vague inference

    next time or NOW
    post to audio devices, not to computers, but if you want to talk about CD drives, we can work that topic all day long, or in 1 min flat , if removed and the drive label is shown. most can not read CR-R disk. or the like.
    some only can do, CD-DA real media.

    one can see that CD audio codex has huge limits. (narrow) Never good that. as it dummies up. or makes noise.

    if serious buy any desktop PC and ask me what drive to buy, it will blu-ray drive that can DO ANYTHING.
    reads them all and burns them all , mine does

    this rig you have will burn CD_DA music (read) to MP3 to a USB STICK memory stick so that is nice.
    but max is poor at 4GB maximum (usb memory) fat32 I guess. some say 2GB (ouch)

    this RIG was made in 2009 so is 12 years old
    reviewers said" fully functional CD," is a total lie. for sure. (end to end lie that is)
    amazon reviews in UK are horrid (but horrid means buying old lame ,music box 4 years old)
    folks on amazon can't tell new from used, sadly
    amazon does not allow to search and filter for NEW so vast old dead used things are sold there.
    Date First Available ‏ : ‎ 17 Oct. 2009
    if you just bought this it is NOT NEW: learn to shop better.(online)

    books we can search and click new at AMA_ZONED)
    not radios like above or anything else but books.

    ebay allows all that, even tells if new or used
    and tells where shipper lives, USA or CHINA and 3 months ship from CHINA
    and can see sold prices, so you can see what any thing is worth ,new,used, refurb'd or dead.


    what the manual does not tell you (nor spec)_
    is that CD drive does NOT RECORD to IT. It plays only.
    nor does it support most of the vast CD formats.(like WAV or FLAC)


    it does not support most of these, read it and weep (CD_DA yes, some MP3 and some WMA)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file...

    if confused I always ask the seller,
    is it new?
    and where is the ship address , in china or in my country
    and if used do you have a guarantee.(of anykind)

Both cassette players on my Steepletone SMC386 has suddenly stopped working. All other functions (turntable etc) work fine.

These items are not known as repairable units. The cost to work on the unit may be more than the cost of a new one.You are better off buying a regular separate type system as these get you into this kind of trouble when they go bad. Dual cassettes even on stand alone unit are no better- abandon the dual cassette type unit they are nothing but trouble and they do not work very well when they are running- I base this on more than 40 years of repair experience.
And yes, I have repaired them but I am not doing it for $8.25/Hr any more.
