NAD c541i not picking up CD

[warzinak]

Hello im new to audio and got myself a NAD C372 amp + NAD c541i cdp....
problem with the cd player is the tray takes the cd in but doesnt lift it up to the laser...i took of the cover..and when i give the tray a lift it starts working (or if i tilt the cd player abit)...then even if i turn the player off or change songs etc it will work fine...but i can not take the cover off every time i want to change cds....
anyway i dont want to pay alot to get it fixed by someone because i bought the cd player for really cheap...does anyone know if there is a easy fix?

hope someone can help

That sound like nothing more than a stretched loading belt that starts slipping when asked to lift the laser assembly.

Very common problem on many players.

i thought it might be something to do with the belt...is it easy to fix? do i just replace the belt? and where do i buy something like that? would it be NAD specific?..sorry for all the questions.
cant wait to get it working again

Usually easy to replace depending on the mech of course... you will have to have a look and see. You might have to unscrew the disc clamp and eject the tray.

Two minutes of a job normally.

Where to get them depends on your location. Just measure the belt "end to end" against a ruler and double the reading for the circumference. Only go a little smaller for a new one, a matter of a millimeter or two.

Check whether it's round or square cross section although if in groved pulleys either work OK if it comes down to it.
