Hi,
I joined this forum because I am trying to restore an old Pioneer car CD player, and am unable to source lasers for a unit that old. I have been working on it off and on for a couple years, and have all portions working except the CD portion of the unit. I would like to find a way to insert audio from a bluetooth device and try to have the CD portion work close to original capacity (I don't expect full functionality). I found a post on here where some users talk about using a similar chipset to what I have and am looking for information on how to accomplish this restoration. I have collected as much manuals and datasheets on the cd player, mechanisms, and chips as I believe is available at this time.
Here is the forum post I found: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/cxd1125q-and-cxd1135q-spdif-output-mod.317359/
It doesn't mention doing what I am wanting to do, just that some other people have a better idea of how these old cd players work.
Is there a section on here that would be appropriate to start a build thread on this project? Are there also some other posts I should read before starting such a project?
Hope to learn from your expertise!
