cyrus 8x skipping

milen007 · 23rd April 2008, 06:08 AM

i need help on identifying what might be the possible cause of my cyrus 8x skipping (eg. playing 3.00 then pause half sec and start on 3.03 or sort of that way) on several tracks, mostly track #9 and #10 and #11 on almost all cds. the cds are flawless.

i do clean the head few times but its not helping. could it be the motor? i do not have cyrus dealer in Indonesia.

what might be the possible cause? motor problem? transport problem? thanks

Which optical unit does it use, is it a swing arm ?

Think we need a bit more than that.

Take the top off and look at the laser mechanism. A swing arm type is what it says, an arm that is pivoted at the centre and follows an arc as the lens assembly tracks across the disc. A bit like a turntable. All other types move in a straight line. You will easily tell, and look for any markings or labels on mechanism.
