Sony CD Player loses right channel
Hello all,
I have the Sony CDP-CE375 CD player (yes, part of a component stereo system, quaint, I know). There is a "turntable" that holds 5 discs. It extends from the front to load discs and it is almost as wide as the unit itself. It has been a popular model for Sony.
Recently, when I played a disc, there was no sound in the right channel. So I switched the "audio out" cables to the back of my 1987 Fisher one-disc player and played a disc. Both channels were fine on the Fisher.
I really feel cheated. I don't even know how to load the Sony up with 5 CDs or how to tell the remote which disc to play. I have probably had this unit for 5 years and I have hardly even used the thing.
I have a manufacturer service manual from audio dot manualsonline dot com (for models 275 and 375). I'll try the headphone jack shortly. The 'optical out' jack may let me bypass some parts (A/D converter? amplifier?) and narrow the problem down further, but I don't have any optical cables.
Any ideas? I do NOT have a scope. My father had a DuMont oscilloscope in the basement for years, but we don't even know if it even worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
(I hate to buy a new 5-disc CDP-CE500, of some other brand of component CD player, but my repair skills [and spare time] are really pretty low.....)
