I repaired a PD-8500 4 years ago and at the beginning I thought that buying the IR was the only option to go through the different steps of the TEST mode.
Then I realized that << and >> buttons (available only on the remote) were only need to move the carriage to a given position, which can be carefully done by hand.
What is important is that you can access >>|, PLAY and PAUSE which respectively triggers FOCUS SERVO, SPINDLE servo and PLAY mode...but these buttons are available on the device.
So long story short, at least for me, RC is not (strictly) needed.
Hello friends!
I think that the remote control will be useful in the future.
There are track search buttons on the front panel, but there is no fast forwarding.
And the volume at the player’s output is adjusted using the remote control in a similar way.
It’s also convenient, you don’t need to turn down the volume on the amplifier.
The remote control will arrive, there will be a second series on CD repair.
All the best to you. Vladislav
