Sony CDP 991 CD Player Repair - With Slip

Hi Guys!
In this video I'll be taking a look at my old Sony CD Player from back in the early 90's.
The player is taking in a disc but it is not reading it & just auto ejects it out.
Be advised that you should never work anywhere near internal power supplies even if the unit is not plugged into the mains!
Hope you find this tutorial useful/informative & please like & subscribe!

I have this player too, and loved it. Two great things are that it has index-buttons and many direct jump buttons on both unit and remote. I had to replace the laser in mine... it can't be that long ago... wait... damn... it's 25 years ago. Perhaps should take it for a spin and see if it needs a new laser one more time. :)

Definitely worth another try Jorgen! 👍

posted that before i watched it through and you fixed it , by taking it apart you freed up the dirt on the switch which detects the cd , it was opeing the drive before as the switch wasnt making contact to tell the device a cd was present so it was opening up waiting for a disk even though there was a cd in , good job well done

I just fixed my x222es Sony player and it did something similar turned out to be the ribbon cables weren’t connected properly.

i remenber buying a second cd player from pioneer and having already a PD-7300 i said to my friend ,buy pioneer to which he replyed ,no Sony is better i heard it on my tv it as a beautifull sound ,so he bought it and several ways of playing one cd like 3 options of programing when inserting the text and songs he might prefer to listen till 3 ways of diferent programing ,at least it looked like this ,he after 5 monthes gave up on it ,mine both first two cd players with standart size still play today only by tunning the laser ,so sony good not even for 5 monthes and after all the pioneers had much better sound and in 93 i bought a complete ES system by components ,sold it like 7 monthes after when having problems with the tuner, cassette deck and cd player ,allthough i have to recognise that the amplification system was really good two mono independent channels and the best phono stage i heard on a non 70´s amp. but sold it the whole system in two weeks to buy a entire new nakamichi system ,again the same the stasis power amplifier was incredible good but everything else even the dragon turntable was garbage and the cassette deck 1 i kept it also either than the power amplifier but after all , bought again a entire pioneer system urushi design and all works today even the 76 system pioneer top of the line also works today with minimal maintenace

there will be a tray switch which tells the unit there is a cd inserted its not detecting the disk as its not spinning it up nothing wrong with the lazer as its not spinning up

Check for a dead motor.

[@SlipsFix]

When it goes wrong again I'll check for that cheers!

[@obedjimenez2624]
