Rockford RAV DVD1 issue - Page 2

If its a motorized face.. it is very likely. It could even actually be on just without any display information. Kind of like a lot of the motorized cd player faceplates.

(crosses fingers his kenwood motorized face doesn't act up any time soon..

Yes, I owned two of those poorly-designed units and even gave it a scalding review on epinions.com.

You could have a dead unit which will illluminate the buttons but not power-up. I've seen that before in the car audio world.

But definitely check for power @ the PCB power connector if you can do it.

Great concept, terrible unit! I remember emailing the maker of the DVD disc/laser unit for the RAV-DVD1 and of course got no response.

That darn thing would take up to 30 seconds just to start playing a disc, but the cool thing was the video output which would show the current track/MP3 on the video monitor output.

Also I had issues with DAC noise on the RCA outputs, which Rockford incompetently DENIED any knowledge of. (Easily seen on an oscilloscope and could be reproduced).

too bad!....good luck!
