What did you clean the lens with ?

alexbeni · 24th February 2011, 11:25 AM

I use clean cutton and wipe the lens

Did you use any liquid ? Alcohol etc.?
Only proper lens cleaner should be used with clean cotton buds.

Does the swing arm mechanism move freely from stop to stop ?

Do you have a manual ?
have you tried setting the player into diagnostic mode ?

No, I didn,t use any liduid, the lens looks clean!, the swing arm is ok, I just down load the service manual, no I havenot setting the player into diagnostic mode!, how to do it?
Once I repaired my old pioneer cd changer, after I change some of tha capasitor the unit work well!, is this also the problem with RCD965!?
thanks

To be honest, it is a long time since I looked at an old Rotel.

If I remember correctly, it has the cdm4 and is based on a Philips player.

Search the forum for CDM 2 and cdm4 problems. There are capacitors used which are famous for going "off". ( 47uF )

If you do change them, DO NOT increase the value or use Oscons. Use like for like.

Also read this thread ....CDM4/19 skips

Hai Andy, I have changed the capasitor but, the problem remain. do you have any sugestion! thanks

First check has to be the RF signal (eye pattern) as viewed on an oscilloscope to confirm amplitude etc is good.

As Andy says, failing caps are a real problem with the old Philips units...
Isn't there a 33uf cap that always gets mentioned, is that on this unit ?
