Thanks for the master / slave re-education. I'll let my mechanic know the controller and client brake cylinders needs checking , I'm sure he'll understand.
Lol. We actually got sensitivity training at work for this. Someone was paid to make an e-learning course on this. Aparantly some people are triggered by words. When I grew up the saying was "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"
Wow what a machine, always liked the Sony stuff for audio and video. Still have my Sony stereo component system I bought brand new back in 1995. People have always remarked on how good it sounds.
I just got a 400 disc changer recently on marketplace for $20 along with 100 rock cds, kenwood speakers with stands and a receiver. I was able to repair the cd player with your help from a previous video.
Early CD-R's seem to have better longevity than a lot of "modern" ones. I have a Verbatim disc burned in 1995 that plays beautifully, and some modern discs I barely got three years out of. Of course, with no IR Laser on this player, that is a moot point here.
This is very true. Earlier discs had a dark green or blue recording layer. The ones that appeared green was due to the gold reflective layer. These were typically 8x or under write speed. The faster discs, 52x for example need the recording layer to be much more sensitive because the laser has less time to write. As a result these faster discs can also be affected by residual uv light exposure. I lost a few in my cd changer. Right in the front. Turns out that at a specific time of the year the morning sun blasted through a widow and right into the 200 disc changer and onto the discs that were in the front. After a few months it destroyed the recording where it hit the discs I had to replace them. Now I leave a piece of black cloth hanging over the window on the changer to prevent this from happening again as I lost about 20 discs.
Hi Dave. I had one of these. They were released in the early 2000s. Mine cost between $500-600 if I remember correctly. DVDs were quite expensive then, but I liked the fact that it could hold my then growing DVD collection. The standard keyboard meant you could add titles to the menu and the unit also could take a small thumbnail of a video frame you selected for the slow yet interactive menu. It was one of the earliest examples of a low cost “video server.” Unfortunately, the unit didn’t have awesome support for all recordable formats and eventually stopped playing DVDs altogether. I got rid of it probably in 2006- possibly a laser or capacitor issue. It was a cool device for the time and it’s really neat to see one on your bench!
I can remember these multidisc players when they were released and for anyone with a large collection they provided a one stop solution, until you wanted to move it, then you had to remove all this discs. Where i worked we sold a few of them, but they were expensive at the time., and like many Sony players they were disc fussy.
The flip feature looks to be a very convenient feature. There are quite a few DVD TV show boxsets on dual-sided discs, such as seasons 2, 3, and 4 of the "A-Team."
12voltvids i have a rca professional series cd9500 301 cd changer that I inherited from my old job at a motorcycle shop I worked at, anyways earlier this year when I was getting ready for bed I had it playing a cd and all of a sudden it stopped working long story short I got up the next morning (after turning it off of course) i checked it out & I found that a gear came off along with the plastic piece that holds the gear to the mechanism and thanks to your fixes I came up with my own solution by using a long thin screw with a tiny nut I had my neighbor carefully drill the hole bigger to accept the now plastic bushing for the main gear to spin on (btw I was just recovering from a ebicycle accident I was involved in a few months earlier) luckily my plan worked out.
06:20 - I got a feeling that that warning doesn't mean no MP3 disk, I don't see how one can damage any device. Probably it just means, do not put in there any other object that is not a physical CD/DVD disk, so ANY kind of object that's not meant to be inside this machine.
Its dead here too. Sure glad I got out in 03 when I did. People seem to think I make a ton of money fixing stuff. If they only knew. I make enough to go our for dinner a few times a month.
Makes me think of Seeburg. Remember the 100 LP home stereo console? I think it was built in Canada. I serviced one of these some years ago for a neighbor.
I have been using my Sony Cd juke box for 25+ years. Still works. The only problem with it is all the folder/filenames are in volatile memory. All gone when the power goes out!
Unfortunately these sorts of things seem pretty rare in the UK. Heck it's rare to see a standard tray based cd changer. Anyway, I'd love one of these and I'll literally fill it with DVDs. I'll empty whole box sets into it, title them up and everything. I'll use the single disc slot for playing a CD as I have about 30 of those and rarely listen to audio.
More for discs like that lethal weapon with both 4x3 and wide screen. They also made dual layer double sided discs as well. But these were less common.
@@12voltvids I still have Starship Troopers as double sided DVD, but that is my only one. To make the flip feature, couldn't just be for that reason. If you put in an Audio CD upside-down, does it turn it around?
I wonder if you would remember in 1975-1976 I would of been in grade 4 at the time - but we Had a very severe storm one day that my parents didn't want me to walk home in . The wind was something fierce ...??
No, it plays audio cd only. Can be a pressed disc or cdrw. It will not play cdr at all and there are no cdr brands that will work. Need a dual wavelength laser for that, which is 2 different laser pickups using the same lens.
You can record music on a DVD disk in a DVD recorder. That toshiba that has the 10 hour mode works great for that and any DVD player will play it. DVD players that support mp3 will play DVD R discs loaded with. Mp3 files and so e bluray players also support mp3 on bdr disc but older models don't support it unless formated as a video DVD.
Lol, not even close. Vancoyverites like to complain about the weather to discourage people from moving here and driving our housing costs even more into the stratosphere. I'm not in Vancouver myself. I'm south right on the beach. Here we don't get a ton of rain. Its sunny here when its raining in Vancouver. North can gets more rain as they are in the mountains.
Some of the Sony machines had a funny copyright glitch and it won’t play certain DVDs ran into that and then have seen that with the larger capacity CD players with DVD player
I think if someone offered me one of these for free or cheap I would definitely find a use for it. I have loads of DVDs which my wife is pressuring me to throw away. I could load them into this and just throw the cases. (Hide the cases in the loft=throw away).
No, that's for feeding the audio in from the "slave" cd jukebox. It cues up the slave and then as the current song is ending starts the slave unit playing and does a cross fade for the music. The master cues the next track and when the slave track is ending cross fades back. So no interruption while the machines load the next song. I have 2 200 disk players in the house and they are cool to watch in operation.
Don't get me wrong on this comment, how long does the laser last regarding time, IE got a few Sony dvd cd players and great machines but the laser have failed on one
Don’t keep to many limits as well The Video side of it won’t play as clean and as good as a single DVD player as well the audio won’t sound as good as a single CD player yeah it’s nice to build to put in 300 but when it sounds like crap trade it in.
That sounds like a you problem. Many people have large libraries of recorded content. Not necessarily boitkegged movies either. I know many collectors of media that they archived to dvd back before putting everything on a hard drive was common. I have stacks of dvd-r content. Lots of news archives. When the WTC came down for example. I have news footage from all the satellite feeds that were up. Not just that but I recorded tons of stuff from the pay tv channels. Lots of series and movies. Most went to dvdrw or DVD ram. As far as store bought dvd I have perhaps 20, and about the same bluray. Dvd-r I probably have 500. All the work I did i kept the master edit on dvd so if a client called looking for a copy I had it.

That's huge. It would keep a person entertained for years.
Take from someone with over twenty four hundred movies on a media server. It becomes a bit of a chore searching for something to watch. 😮

That could well be the first time that mechanism has flipped a disc.
Possibly
I have a CX860 that does not play dvds anymore but still plays CD’s so I coax digital out to my nice DAC and use it as a CD transport
Thats one smart Cookie, but missing a few Crumbs HAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Thanks Dave....
we used to have a 200disc changer in a pub i used work at abt 10years back
Buckets, what happened to the cats & dogs? 🤣

No, it plays audio cd only. Can be a pressed disc or cdrw. It will not play cdr at all and there are no cdr brands that will work. Need a dual wavelength laser for that, which is 2 different laser pickups using the same lens.

400 bluray.
