Hi all,
It is strange he does it with multiple CDs and CDs are scratch free, including the CDs not wobble on the cd platform.
It is difficult to get right in to on the inside because the ribbon cable is very short, I wait until my CD platform with puck is ready, I had hoped for a simple solution😉

If I skip the cd to the next song is going well until I passed number 5 then turns the cd much too fast and then goose the laser to the outer side.

Now I must open my CD Transport earlier, because the laser does not read any CDs anymore 😕

mur860 T0220 stupid question
looking at the datasheet of the mur860 TO-220 ac I am confused. I've never worked with this style of diode before.
It looks like either leg is "in" and the case with the mounting hole is "out"
I'd a thunk that one leg would be "in" and the other leg would be "out".
Could someone please enlighten me on this very basic question (sorry).
Thanks,
Paul

looking at the diode from the front (ie heatsink side away from you), the left leg is cathode and right leg is anode. The back of the diode (ie heatsink contact) is connected to the cathode. So you may need to insulate if you were using a heatsink.
However, you won;t need a heatsink on those diodes in this application....
I think that a goo dnumber of to220 style diodes follow this same pinout.

Paul,
please take a look here, cathode is at one of the leg, which is also connected to the TO220 Tab:
Hi Rudy,
Did this happen suddenly or as a result of a modification/change/repair etc., I guess you probably did check the laser switch as well ???
Try to remember the last time you touched it and what you did...even when I am still busy with a second one at the moment I still do one (small) thing at the time to try to stay in control of it...
Hi Erik,
I have nothing changed to this CD transport, I have the last few days regularly problems sometimes it seems that the CD Transport goes in the mute on the CD tracks, the last tracks of the cd he can't read and the CD quickly rotate.
I have the transport now open and I will take another CD unit, where the laser switch already in is confirmed.

Rudy

I forgot to mention, 1 time during switching on the CD transport I experienced that the led lights blinked for a few seconds.
I hope that this has nothing to do with 1 softstart circuit for 3 transformers? (Trichord clock; 5 volt CD board; 8 volt for 2 cd motor.

I know a softstart is not necessary for 3x 100vA transformers but I have the units so I take them in the power supply.
Note the soft-start circuit I have already a few months in the power supply.

The CD transport plays again as it should be, I'm a happy man 
I have now placed a new unit.

EZ32 can also be used, but the project is very involved. (See my posts on the subject very early in this thread.)
If you have multiple powersupplies the start up (I experienced) for the very first time takes a few toc readings.....it is probably better to leave it on if that is the case.....in order to avoid damage (especially if you have multiple chipfeedings)...
Today I mounted the the Mini-Pitbull (it's shadow that is😀) on a proper block of wood and gave it a decent inlet and linefilter....
This will be the platform (excl copper) on which I will build further....

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Hi Erik,
I have never problems with a few toc readings, it reads OR it read not.
Maybe the laser is damaged, to try differend digital cabel, I will certainly test the other one.
Now I have also a protection for my CD Transport because there is a Labrador in the house 😀

Nope you mis-understand me, it was more an advice towards you..meaning that with multiple powersupplies you have to take care...
I gave an example that with e.g 8V and 5V separated you have to take care when you start up ..the very first time.!!!......I agree that it reads toc or not .....but AFTER toc reading it seems not to speed up the first time......after a few times it works like a charm...especially if you leave the power on...
I saw a simular posting in the past.....that's all 😀

I installed an awslr tonight in my second shiga. I think theres an improvement - maybe slightly more resolution and separation. Its not huge mind you......

Hello Fran,
Every little bit helps to improve the Shigaclone.
I have first a 1000uF FK Black gate then ALWSR then 1000uF STD Black gate.
You also have a Trichord Clock 4 to try, you will be amazed?

Rudy

Nope, don't have a trichord, but I did implement the reclock circuit and liked it a lot. I was going to look at doing that next....
