I decided to join the fun and hopefully you guys can lead me in the right direction. (HooBoy!)
I recieved the kit about a month ago and was not able to carve enough time out to build it until now. I have the Cd Pro2 assembly and I'm on it now.
First, I did not get any schematic or instructions so I just now emailed hifidiy to send the links. I had no luck opening the links on the epay page or that Nic put up, essentially I get a Chinese 404.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the pictures or assembly instructions online?
I am a very experienced builder and hope to only need a couple of things clearified here and there.

Hello dshortt,
Is it the mini CD-Pro chassis you have or the Big CD-Pro chassis?

Thanks, acidbrain.

I got a reply from hifidiy also with the schematic and info that I needed.

Now I will get to work.

Thanks also to akuperf, I missed your responses the first read through.

OK, fist question. I can not find a picture or schematic of the remote control board. There are 2 resistors, a 10 ohm and a 5K. which is R1 and R2? I suspect R1 is the 10 ohm in the transistor's emitter and R2 is the 5K in the ceramic resonator's leg.

dshortt9 · 23rd August 2012, 05:14 PM

From reading up on ceramic resonators, a 5.6k resistor is used for damping the thickness resonance of a 455 khz resonator, usually in the 4 - 5 mhz range. So I'll stick with the 5k as R2 in the CR circuit. Learn something new every day.

Can someone out there please help. I am currently stuffing the mini cd pro main board, checking each component as I go and I think there may be a problem. Has anyone else noticed the following or do I have a pcb from a dodgy batch?

There seems to be some anomaly regarding the solder pads for Capacitor C20 (220uf/50v electrolytic) and rectifier D2. The positive pads appear to be connected to the negative plane on the upper surface of the pcb. Either that or the printing showing the orientation of the rectifier and capacitor are the wrong way round.

I would really appreciate it if somebody more knowledgeable than me could tell me what's what. Presumably if I connect the electrolyic the wrong way round it is going to go pop?

I would ask hifidiy but they dont seem to bother answering customer emails.

Also have a few other queries but will wait to get an answer to this first.

Thanks in advance,

Simon
