Meridian 206 - error - not reading CDs

TheDealer · 6th March 2010, 07:52 PM

Hi folks,
maybe someone could give me a tip.
My Meridian 206 is not reading any CDs meanwhile. Displays everytime "err."
Since 2 months I left the player always switched on at the back panel and
pressed the standby button in front when finished listening.

What is usually defect in such case ?

Wishes to the forum (of course good ones

?

Mine has been doing the same thing. Someone told me that it might need a new laser assembly. Anyways, I have it in storage now. I look forward to hearing what others have to say about this particular problem. I really enjoyed the sound, and would like to get it up and running.

It is the laser assembly. Meridian does not carry it anymore,
so I found a replacement CDM and had Meridian install it. That
took care of it. '92 is a long time ago for a laser.

It uses a Phillips CDM 4/19. 4/19 are used in many cheap Magnavox and
other cd players that you can buy for dirt cheap. You need to make sure
that the laser is still strong -- so buy a couple. Also, they are available
on ebay, but often they just remove 'em from old players and sell them.

They also appear here. Post a wanted ad here.
