  • Sony CD Carousel Issue - Not Reading CDs

    From Chris K-Man@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 31 04:34:37 2021
    Make: Sony

    Year of Mfg: 2000

    Model: CDP-CE375

    Issue: Does not read CDs in trays #2-5, but does read them
    in tray #1.

    This doesn't make sense, since there is only one laser-sled
    assembly, and the carousel just rotates until the requested
    disc is over that assembly.

    Any ideas?

    Maybe this covers a related issue sensor or otherwise-

    Thanks David!

    That video covers a ton of scenarios with these Sony Carousel changers.

    With the hood off, I was able to determine that the player is stopping the carousel under trays with a disc in it. It's just having trouble TOCing(table of contents) the disc, pauses for a few seconds, then resumes rotating the tray in search of a disc
    present. It always acknowledges a disc in carousel tray #1. It very rarely confirms a disc in space #2, and is almost always successful at #3 through 5.
