I just read the description about how to remove the gears, lifesaver.

Go back to start of the thread, and then read all posts until you get to the pic with all the gears marked, read and do, no problem.

very fortunate that when my CD50 stopped working, the only person I knew that I could trust to fix it without any qualms was Tim Jarman, and 5 years later it's still working beautifully with my BM5500, MCP5500, and the Redline 60.2's

What is the replacement belt size? I removed the old one from my cd50 in pieces and so far all I can tell is that its a 1.2 mm square belt.

...Also (sorry to have so many questions, this is my first time ever repairing this) how do I get the second gear off after the big one has been removed? There is a "C" shaped washer, do I pry that off? I can't put the belt on until that gear is removed.

my Beosystem 5500, but instead of the 5500 CD player I have the CD50 !

I get that also, the problem is the "directory" tree ... you need to click on the blue error heads and select each line to find where the system has placed your uploads.

Setting up the file system is counter-intuitive

I ended up with three layers of file structure and you may have the same issue:-

thank you,  got there in the end, but that is a really stupid way to upload images if you ask me, who ever designed that needs a lesson about end users and the KISS principle
