Pioneer CD Recorder Problem (PDR - 05)

**Fit Lad Berkshire** · October 24th 03, 12:10 PM posted to uk.rec.audio

I've had the above for about 8 years and it has now stopped
working.It's probably the age and I need a new one,but is there
anything I could try first to rectify this fault.When I put a CD in,it
comes up "Check Disc" every time,no matter what CD I put in.
Any suggestions ? Thanks all.

Just a thought - have you tried switching it off and unplugging it from the
mains for an hour or so?

(Although it's almost certainly suffering from a dirty laser if it hasn't
been cleaned in that time.)

Tea.Tried the unplugging thing.Dirty laser though ? Do I use one of
them cleaning cd's or do I need to take it apart ?

I really am not the best person here to advise you, but if it were my CDP
I'd damn soon have the top off it and would puggling about with a cotting
bud and a blob of isopropanol, rather than batter my laser lens ****less
with one of those crappy disks with the bristles on it......
