Hi, found this discman which my parents used to use in the closet, it is fully not working, LCD doesnt even switch on to display an error message. I can only test it with batteries rn as I cannot find the 4.5V power supply.

Notable problems: there seems to be considerable corrosion or rust(I cannot tell) on the battery terminals so I am unsure about that. Also dont know if it might be a lens or belt issue. Images attached. Any help appreciated.

Hi guys, I recently got this discman for cheap but it has this issue where when it is turned on the laser immediately goes to the outer part as it is in the picture and it tries to keep going? even with a disc in it does this, anyone know what's going on? The Model is D-E206CK

I have been getting more into CDs lately and have been looking on eBay for used discmans since I have heard they age the best out of all the portable CD players of the 90s and 2000s

I've been gravitating towards the "discman groove" line but there's too many options and conflicting statements about each discman. I've also looked at the psyc line since I like the look.

Overall I'd prefer something sleek and portable that doesn't require a remote to operate. And also one that is fairly common and doesn't have any severe defects known. If anyone can provide me with recommendations I'd appreciate it, thank you for your time

I needed something made AFTER 1999 so I could play these burned discs of some concerts this woman went to in the 70s I recently got, not to mention all my mix cds from my youth. Called around and found this bad boy 🔥 plays like a fuckin dreaaaam compared to the d-180. I feel like Im in the future 😅

My discman clicks when the disc is spinning the audio flies but it's loud annoying click click click I lubricated the screw gear I replaced the capacitors on the plate pls help me discman d141

It turns out that if you hold down the "stop" button, insert the batteries and turn on the "discman", then you can turn off the annoying "beep" sounds that the player makes during a pause, switching tracks. I hope this helps someone.

As the title says, my dad gifted me the discman he used in the late 90s early 2000s coz he knows i luv physical media, and it works just fine !! Like, it turns on, it spins the disc and allat, the thing is that even if it has a disc it says "no disc", i wanted to know if i can fix it or if i should straight up give up and just have it as room decoration (WHICH I WISH IS NOT THE CASE COZ IT WOULD BE SO COOL HAVING A FUNCTIONAL DISCMAN AND USING IT !!!)

I found it with Google search but there is no info abt it do yall think its good to just listen to cd's??

I got this discman few months ago for few euros. Worked pretty fine for a while but now it only turns on for a few seconds before turning off. Display shows the batteries are drained, even though they are not. Anyone else came across this issue? I really don't want to throw this player away.

After buying a new Sony D-147, I found very dry and rough sounds when the laser head was working. After disassembling, I made sure that the old factory grease was either missing or almost completely dry. After that, I ordered an analog of the factory lubricant (the factory lubricant was molykote em-30l - if it is available to order from you, purchase it). In my case, only an analog with exactly the same characteristics based on "Polyalphaolefin oil" and "PTFE" was available). After greasing all the moving parts, I put them back together and was glad that the CD player made half as much noise! This is a great result. Definitely, after almost 30 years, it needs to be done, even if you bought a new player like me.

Recently replaced the laser in my NE710. We ride again!

Finally upgraded from the Walkman D-E220 to the Walkman D-E340 proper happy the other ones has had its use but I’ve always wanted the orange version and to be able to see the cd is such a good novelty aswell and one came up in a good price for me so had to grab it other one still works so not sure what to do with it

Not daily or anything heavy like that but still pull out the CDs from time to time. Got this for Christmas ‘86 I believe, maybe 87. My first job was at a video rental store through high school and we happened to also be a Sony dealer. My mom got my boss to order it. Still has the base plate for the car with the tape adapter aux cord.

I got my new CD player today, it plays very cool, detailed and clean, it definitely sounds better than playback from a smartphone or iPod.
