i found this 3 cd stereo and having some troubal with it. its used but
tapes and the raideo work on it. the problem is the cd player. when i
try to play any cd in the cd player nothing happens. its a weird
brand, i think its aiwa but am not sure. any help would be helpfull.
Aiwa is not a weird brand. It is part of the Sony group, and is very
common.
The most likely thing on one of these - assuming that it's one of the
carousel models - is that the laser lens is very dusty. In their heyday,
I
used to do probably 4 or 5 a week. Cleaning the lens - properly , that
is,
not with a 'CD lens-cleaner disc' - will restore one of these in 7 out of
10
cases. Failing that, you're probably up for a replacement laser. There
are a
couple of other potential issues which have been known to stop one
working,
but they are very rare. The decoder / deck drive electronics are
generally
very reliable on them. If you do have to get a replacement laser, make
sure
that you get the right one. KSS 213B is the commonest (and cheapest), but
they have also had '213C, '213D, and '213E fitted. They don't like having
the wrong one in them. None of them is expensive as lasers go, but I
would
warn against using the real 'cheapies' in these units, particularly if
it's
not a '213B, as in my experience, operation can be a bit marginal with a
less than full spec laser fitted.
Very nice post indeed Arf, but I doubt anyone who thinks Aiwa a weird
brand has the potential to do anything but swab the laser if he/she can
even do that :)
Hi Meat - how's it a'goin?
That did occur to me too, but I thought it was a nice example of 'one of
those' questions relating to what is actually a very common stereo with a
very common problem, and I thought it might serve as a useful vehicle for
one of those magazine type "Uncle Arfa Answers ... " responses that could be
useful to others with a bit more experience ;~}
