Finally, an affordable CD Transport: the Shigaclone story

From what I see in datasheet LC78622 is a better chip as entire display system control is ensured by a separate chip, while LC78601 and LC78602 are all in one chips.

An LC78622 implementation for the same CD mechanics:

IMHO this could be a better transport, but I will stick to original shiga due cost-wise.

Maybe we should consider using what-ever chip that is widely available or still in production.
 
LC78601 - LCD display
LC78692 - LED display
LC78620 - no system display
LC78622 - no system display

So far we source them as per below:
LC78601RE-8615 SANYO 100PCS N/A QFP $1.50
LC78602RE-8616 SANYO 100PCS N/A QFP-64 $1.50
LC78622NE SANYO 100PCS N/A QFP-64 $1.50

This is to confirm that the project will use LA9242M/LC78601RE cipset exactly like in JVC RC-EZ31

Hi pchw,
You can contact chungtat, he is a nice guy and I also bought the CD mechanism from him just this week.

Regards

Here is a little ad.

Found several boombox CD mechanism. No display, no remote and no keypad.

Just CD laser head and controller PCB.

$20 for one. Used.

I could replace it with new CD head and it would be $30 for one CD mechanism.

Send me PM if you are interested.
