DENON DCM-420 Not Reading Disks

Jan 05, 2008 2 Replies

All,



I have a DENON DCM-420 5 disk changer that is no longer reading any disks on the caraselll. In the past, the sensor that reads the carousel went out, we replaced that and all was well for 10 years. Now no matter what disk position a CD is in, the device does not reconise it as being loaded, it will run throught all of the positions



1-5 and then show 0 for loaded disks.

Is this something that can be fixed, am I looking at a sensor or the laser its self.



Pleaes advise, I have had this unit for sometime now, and realy do like they way it works, just don't want to give it up yet.

Wrong newsgroup. Try news:sci.electronics.repair or

for google group users. Give them the Brand and Model numbers, as well as the symptoms and they may be able to help you.

Symptoms and age would make for a pretty typical worn-out laser, but worth a clean first, just in case.
