Does it have to spin the disk and play CD automatic ?
What is the little button for ? play / next ?

I bought one too cheap, the laser focuses and there is red glow but disk does not spin.
Any known errors ?
Want to test the DAC...
 
Hi,

do you have a controller? The buttons for back/next/play... are at the front of the controller. When a CD is loaded the player must be reseted with the big button at the players top.

I have seen a high end (?) / high price version some minutes ago at ebay - horrible high price for this kind of ... - but a nice wood cabinet was included...

cheers
Michael
 
It is first version and has two big buttons, one on/off and other open and another smaller one.

Can I play CD like this ?
Does the CD spin when closing the lid ? I like to know if the laser is bad...
I have no controller. Does it look like a joystick ?
 
To play, skip etc. you have to connect the PS to a TV and do it via the on-sreen menu or you have to buy a remote control for the playstation 2 (DVD Playback) it fits the Playstation 1 - except the pause function is locatet on another button ("control" I think). In Germany remote controls for the PS2 cots about 10€.

The PS1 ist a really excellent CD-Player except for the noise that comes out of the little plastic enclosure sometimes. For that reason a better enclosure would be excellent.

My one has problems playing CDRs. Has anyone else problems like that? Is there a solution available?
 
Hi,

the dac inside the playsation 1 is the Asahi Kasei "AK4309A". Nothing more than a little delta-sigma thing...

OK, the station plays music but personally i do prefer my Sony CDP557ES or my Marantz CD6000 Michael-Special...
