For the Micromega, I think it's impossible. Anyway, it's very "Philips machine" for the CDM1, servo, SAA7220P etc... Never, never, never find any SM for Micromega. BTW I really love these players, F1Digital, Solo... Don't go for the Trio, it's to much complex !

In French but lot of pictures from inside the box.

I just put it into the google translator
and it did quitre a good job with 🙂
Yeah !
When I first wrote in french, I tough "Man, you have to translate"... But now with google translator, I am not sure I will do this (it's an hard job for me anyway).
The english version will be present for our commercial site.
Well well, to be serious now, the F1Digital is a beauty, but it's a drive.
And as a drive you have the spdif output like that :
On this page you can compare it with other drives http://www.acec13.fr/tvc/REMI/SPDIF_HallOfFame.html#Micromega_CDF1_Digital

I have heard, that Micromega haven't the schematics, but the company, that have carried out the developement. Who knows this company?
I know a little bit of the company.
Micromega was founded by Daniel Schär, a french engineer. He started with electronic studies before to came sound enineer for a parisian studio. Then he went to the USA and worked for Mark Levinson... Then he was responsable for the products of Harman Kardon few years and, back in France, he founded in Micromega.
Micromega stopped in 2006 but the brand restarted with Mr Didier Hamdi. This is not exactly the same philosophy now.
I have never seen a schematics for the old products like CDF1, Solo, Trio etc...
We have done some operations with the old products :
- DUO BS2
- DUO BS
And took some pictures :

Very interesting informations - thank you therefore. Where is Mr. Daniel Schär now?

Do you know, which amount of pieces was produced from Micromega's first generation compact disc player ?

Thanks for the first link. This is my pictures. You can read the original review (in French) here :
MicromegaCDF1Digital
We have modified the SOLO recently but no review for the moment. Now it's a drive with our Class A clock and SPDIF output, it means jitter <2ns at the end of the spdif cable.
I belive Daniel Schär is working with Mr Hamid for Micromega, he was called back. This is something like a "technical caution" for the brand.
That said appart, I would like to say I use a lot of old Micromega products from early years and they are very well designed, even for todays standards (well I am not sure today standards are better than old days standards). But in general twenty years later the power caps are dead, we measure frequently caps with 30% of their original capacity !

Thank you very much for this URL and the informations.
Are there any news concerning the schematics?
I am very happy, if I have this, even if it is only handmade drawing resp. a copy of this.
Perhaps you know also, from which Philips model the schematic is most closest by first series of the Micromega compact disc system "Solo", "Trio" and "Duo".

I have found the Philips / Marantz CD10, CD52, CD150 and CD880 service manuals helpful in trying to understand the CDM4 and servo / HF amplifier and turntable motor circuits in the Micromega Solo.
Micromega solo puck
Hi,
I am given a Micromega Solo H2 CD player, dead from 10 years ago (at least). I tried to look for the service manual or schematic but it was useless. But the player is very well design and it was easy to separate front PCB and transport from main PCB. The problem was located on the -/+ 15V supplies (filtering caps are almost shorted and one of the seconadry winding of the blue Schaffner transformer is dead). For the moment I use external transformers to replace the Schaffner and I could make the CD player sing.
But the Solo was given to me without the puck so I used the puck of my CDPRO2 which did not fit very well and I faced skipping and erratic behaviour. I have searched for a puck but it was also useless.
Could some one tell me please what is the weight of the Solo puck? A detailed picture of Solo puck (specialy the side facing the CD) will be greatly appreciated. I felt in love with this CD player and want to make it play music again.
Cheers,
