When I try to turn the unit on it briefly reads 3 (volume indicator and Mega Bass). It then immediately shuts down. I have tried with batteries and the power cord.

I just installed the Atrac CD software. And this pops out. "You are logged on as a Limited account user. Some functions are not available. In order to have access to all SonicStage functions you must log on to an account as an administrator or Power User privileges." I already am logged in as an administrator. Am I still missing something? I am using a Sony Vaio laptop CS series.

Sony Radio CD player and cassette player CFD-S05: The speakers no longer produce any sound

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:23:38 -0700

I have this problem too. It was purchased in late 2012. Has less than 30 hours play time on it. Has not been mistreated or even rarely moved around. Played fine in January 2022. Sat for a few months unused. In May the speakers no longer produce any sound. Power, CD, cassette, FM all work fine. No sound through headphone jack. Where is the IC amp (on the circuit board?) and what does it look like? Are there instructions on where to buy one and how to change it out? I see how to take the player apart on in internet but that's it. Help me Obwan, you're my only hope! In other words, it would cost more to send it out, pay to get it fixed and returned than the unit cost new originally.

Sony Radio CD player and cassette player CFD-S05: Speakers No Longer Working: Any Glaringly Obvious Issues?

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 19:06:04 -0700

This is my first time self-servicing any of my electronics on this level. The tape and CD players both work, but no sound comes out. Got the thing open enough to take a look at the circuitboard, but wanted to see if maybe there's something clearly wrong for me to start at before I go wild goose hunting for my problem?

Sony CD Player: Why won’t my CD Walkman turn on?

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 18:10:07 -0700

Okay, so I have a CD Walkman model DE-220 and it won’t turn on at all. I’ve tried to open it but I think I missed some screws somewhere and I can’t find them. Could you please help? Have a nice day!

the previous picture is what I think may be causing the problem, but I’m new to this stuff so I’m not sure. I think it’s corrosion.

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 17:53:43 -0700

This radio runs on 9vdc. Would like to power with 12vdc in my rig by adding a jack to this unit. I went ahead and tested (hooked up) 12vdc to battery terminals and unit works….but for how long?? Do I need to limit current and voltage with a resistor or?? Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to copy a CD onto a cassette by using the record button. When I play it back, the cassette has a very faint recording of the CD, if it records it at all. Whatever suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Sony Radio CD player and cassette player CFD-S05: Re-starting a CD in the middle

Sun, 15 Sep 2019 13:26:34 -0700

== Sony CFD S70'''

How do you stop an audio CD at one point, and start it again at the same point? My Sony unit similar to this just keeps the CD spinning around. Pause does not work. If I turn the power off, and back on again, the CD starts over again from the beginning. An older unit I had would start up at the mid-point where I had stopped. I could not find the answer in the instructions.

Sony CMT-CPX1: Sony CMT-CPX1 next track/fast forward selector opens CD door.

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 23:56:51 -0700

HI all!! I have a SONY MICRO Hi-Fi Component Unit Model No CMT-CPX1, and when I turn the selector for the next track on the CD, the CD tray opens, as if I had pressed the eject button. The same thing happens, when i try to fast forward a tape. The selector, as you can see in the picture, has multiple functions, depending on the selected source. It is like pressing 2 buttons at the same time. What could be the problem and how it could be repaired?

Sony CD Player: sony CMT-EH26 can do everything but read cds

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 09:05:44 -0700

I have this old sony micro hi-fi component system CMT-EH26, it has been stuck in the shed for a year and before then it could play cds just fine, but now when ive been able to take it out and clean it (it was covered in very fine sawdust) it can do all of the usuall functions but read cds. so, the remote works, tape player works (havent tried recorder yet) audio in works with my phone, radio, ect

but basically whenever i put in the disc (label up) it starts reading, then tells me theres no disc inside. ofc its a problem with the laser but idk how to fix it, or replace it because i cant find what model/type the laser is.

i do not plan to fix it myself, i only want to know how expensive the laser will be to replace so i know no technician is scamming me (the techs in my area have a very bad reputation, i dont think every technician does this and i do not mind paying well for their labour but, i dont trust it yk) so ill get the technician to both replace the laser and clean the inside because i dont trust myself either.

also its my first time using this website and i do not know how to add different models so i think its an only admin/mod thing so if someone could also add the CMT-EH26 model to the list, it would be great for not only me but other people 👍

thank you so much for reading, hope you have a good one today :3

Sony CD Walkman D-NF430: Why are the buttons on my D-NF4530 CD Walkman suddenly not working?

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 15:40:28 -0700

I've had this walkman for at least a year, using it off and on, but only recently started "daily driving" it for work.

It worked fine for a few weeks, but suddenly the buttons don't work. The buttons will click, but nothing happens.

I handle heavy items and get jostled a bit at work, so I assumed it was a loose ribbon or dirty button contacts and best, or a broken control board at worst.

The ribbon seems fine, not loose or pinched or anything.

The button contacts were dirty, but that wasn't the problem.

The board, as far as my limited knowledge can tell, isn't broken in a way I can see.
