Bought in mint condition off ebay....sent to Gramaphone shop in denver, colorado for the go over...the replaced belts on the doors, some sockets. the 2 glass panels.....everything worked fine...

Are they original cd's or copies?

ahhhh...i'll check....have to call them tomorrow....

Will the 9500 not play copies???

as always...much appreciated...

Some copies are a bit dubious!

Hi Graham...

They were origional CD's.......

THey put in an origional CD...door shuts.....hear it spin.....then door opens up after say 5-10 seconds.....will not play cd....

Ideas??

Thanks..

Dirty laser lens or bad capacitor(s) on servo pcb.

If cleaning the lens does not sort it I would replace C2103 on the servo pcb which is the board screwed to the underside of the cd mechanism. There are a couple of other electrolytics on the board but this is the main culprit.

Thanks a ton Graham...!!

Where are the parts available??   I see PCB numbers in the service manual....but not the "servo pcb"

Do you know in which part (1-5) service manual....replacement of this is in??

Did it work before you sent it to Denver? and did the same bloke look at the Beosound 9000????

The servo pcb is part of the cd module. The pcb drawings and cd set up procedure are in the manual but I'm not sure what part. It is page 5-13 of the manual.

The parts are available from any good electronics store. C2103 is originally 33microfarads 16volt but these are hard to come by. I use 47micro 25volt as replacements.

There have been several other threads on this on the forum if you do a search.

Hi Graham..so i'm on page 5-13.......and its the Servo PCB 30....yes??

I don't see any "c" there...but i see the 2101 and 2102......but no 2103....
