Insignia model NS-DA1902 Five Disc CD Player, Loss of Remote

Hi,

Insignia model NS-DA1902 Five Disc CD Player.

I am a service technician and this CD player (5 disc) does not respond to remote commands. The battery is good and the remote transmits. The remote receive is fine. I "scoped" the output of the remote receiver and the pattern is good.

Note: This CD player also plays CDs with MP3 files. There are many "burned" CDs with albums of MP3 music files that were created for this player.

MAIN PROBLEM:

There is no way to advance to the next album from any of the front panel controls (only on the remote). You can skip a "track" (MP3 file), but it would take some time to get to the album you want to hear.

I was unable to find a schematic or SM for this unit. Do you know where there is one?

Thank You in Advance, John

But, you don't know *what* it 'transmitts. Likely garbage.

So it receives, but does it interpert the data correctly? Is the data valid for the device?

Lot's of CD players handle MP3 disks... Most in fact.

Only one thought: try a universal remote and see if that helps. Personally I don't see much value in repairing a CD player--just replace it. Heck, replacement will cost perhaps $39.95, and you'll have the ability to play DVDs too!

Hi Peter,

I forgot to mention that I had checked my tree different universal remotes, but none of them have "Insignia" settings.

Insignia products are probably made by a better-known company, and use its codes. A bit of experimentation might be in order.

Hi,

Here is an update:

Since there is not much between the output of the remote receiver and the CPU, I circuit traced, but I found no circuit problem such as a bad solder connection. I didn't need a schematic or SM after all.

I have tried the "Search" feature on one of my three universal remotes, but that "failed".

In years of doing service work, I have never encountered a remote with a "code change", but there is that slim possibility.

I will not go any further on this repair project.

FYI:

A DVD player can play a CD with MP3 music files, but you need a display (eg. TV). My customer's stereo system is located where there are no TVs or video monitors.

My Sony doesn't require a TV active. It has a very basic display (not useful) but the remote can be used to skip around.
