Kenwood DP-5030 not recognising discs

Luke · 6th June 2007, 08:27 AM

Hi all,

Have this player and it doesnt recognise discs, theres a red message on the display that says "disc out."

There a little pot on the laser, and 4 others labed vr1 (FEB) vr2 (TEB) vr3 (FE0) vr4 (TEG).

I have no scope and before I go into nothing to loose mode, I thought I would ask if anyone knows what these pots do and if perhaps I can get this thing going again.

thanks Arthur

Hi Arthur

An inspired guess which you may already have thought of yourself!

FEB = Focus bias
TEB = Tracking bias
FEO = Focus offset
TEO = Tracking offset

I would try adjusting the focus controls by a fraction either way and rebooting the machine in between tries.

I have revived several cd players this way

Thanks Andy,

Thats well worth a try. Ive only ever played with marantz and philips players, they have no pots so its all new to me.
Any idea what the pot on the laser is then? I think its a ks2210 or something, sony laser.

cheers Arthur
