Jvc Hu Problems

Blame it on the mechanics? :lol:

Could it be something silly like the laser being dirty? I know they sell CD player 'cleaning discs'... I'm not sure how they work (or even 'if', for that matter), but it might be something to try.

Or, obviously since you are already out of warranty- maybe something fun to dissect and attempt to clean and inspect that way. B)

 

try removingpower from the car to reset the HU.... You never know.

 

No reset button?

 

this happened to my dads old JVC a few weeks ago...

The solution.

 

havent had time--im going to take it apart someday and go over the wiring and clean it out a little...i tried the disc cleaner as well with no luck

can you tell if the cd is spinning at all? e.g. try putting a cd in, noting the orientation of the cd, then eject it and see if it's moved.

 

If the cd player loads the cd but will not spin it, it is a failure of the drive mechanism. Could be a worn out plastic gear or a gummed up gear or a failure of the entire circuit that controls it. If it spins the cd and cannot find the table of contents it might be an alignment issue. Either way a trip to the service shop is in order. That really sucks, especially on a long trip like that. At least I have the nice sound of a BOV to listen to on my trips between stores right now. In time I'll throw my amp rack together and have tunes once again.

 

Can't recall ever seeing a cd spinning mech that wasn't a direct drive motor. It's usually the circuitry/motor...

 

my dad said he took it somewhere and they said the laser was out...
its a kd-sx750
they wanted like 80 bucks to fix it...its probably a 100$ hu now...
plus they mustve ripped the damn face plate off b/c it doesnt stay on anymore
bastards

-Cody

 

ahh...i hate that crap...lol
my brothers bulb burnt out in his scanner a while back and the bulb was more expensive than the damn scanner...

We've got a JVC that lights up a billion and a half different colors (looks basic, the display, otherwise), plays MP3's and CD's, and we sell that unit for $180 authorized... with room to negotiate on price even...

Seems like a decent unit - but definitely, JVC seems to have come down on the price points...

Although, it's more fair to say "returned to where they used to be" - I remember, the first detatchable-face HU that I owned was a JVC (anyone ELSE old enough to remember the pullout units that predated detatchable faces? You know who you are... )...and I bought the JVC, because all the other detachable face units of the day were at least twice the price of the JVC. B)
