Cal Labs Icon transport

RAYSIMMONS · 23rd May 2004, 05:14 AM

What transport was used in the original Cal Labs Icon cd player?
and is it still avaliable?

Thanks!

Its was outsourced from Panasonic.
If you are having tracking problems, it is quite easy to adjust. Clean the lens with a lens cleaner disc or a photo camera lens cleaner.
Find 6 trimpots on the side of the transport.
Let me know the markings by the trimpots and what kind of problems are you having with the unit.
All the besr

Are replacement laser pickups available for the Icon ?

Carlos,
Not sure if it is a problem but my Icon doesn't play CDRs very well. I can't tell if 1x burn improves or not.

As to the pots on the transport, here are the reference numbers:

TR0 TRG F00 F00 PD B TR B
VR103 VR102 VR104 VR105 VR101 VR106
TR0 TEG FEG

Any suggestions to help improve playing of CDRs?

Thanks,
rick

Does anyone know where to get schematics or service manuals for the Icon ?

If someone is looking for a brand new, OEM, CAL laser transport- I've got one. I thought mine needed one when my Icon got intermittent, but it was the small switch that senses the drawer closure out of adjustment. Bought it- never installed it.

Does anyone by any chance has schematics for CAL stand alone DA converter.?
It is so sad that they wewnt out of business. They use to make really good stuff.
Thank you

There's a shop in New York that was an authorized warranty station for CAL. I don't know if they'll share their schematics, but it's worth a try. repair@approvedaudioservice.com The tech's name is Larry. I've owned the Sigma and still have an Alpha. Yes- IT IS a shame they got absorbed!! I guess there was a lot more money in video.
