I aquired a Sony D-311 player, but haven't enjoyed it cause it is having problems picking up track 1. My problem sounds similar to other posts here...

*rrrr*..click..*rrrr*..click..*rrrr*..click....
It shows track 00 while the cd spins.
Please help!!
This is exactly what my D-311 is doing. It powers up fine, I can hear the motor spinning the disc fine, but it cannot read track 1. The display shows the battery indicator and the Track "00." I can hear the beep power up sound of the D-311 and I can toggle all the DSP Mode, Effect, Play Mode, Repeat/Enter buttons and they are displayed on the LCD fine with no problems. But the player cannot track and play track 1, after 2 attempts the player powers off. With no CD inside the player, the D-311 detects no disc and displays the error message "no disc" and shuts off.
So what could it be? I tried to clean the external laser lense, but that didn't help. I manually moved the Laser head to the outer position of the player and powered up the unit with a CD disc inside. The player moved the Laser Head to the inner position to read track 1 but failed to do so, clicked, and then after trying for the second time unsuccessfully the player shuts down.
This couldn't be a problem with adjusting pot settings. I am going to open up the player and check for debris and solid gunk impeding the movement of the laser head. But what else could it be?
Anybody have the Service Manual for the Sony D-311 and D-35 please contact me.
Oh yeah I forgot to ask, can someone please suggest some "lubed the worm gear" lube I can get at my local WalMart or RadioShack store? Also is there a Portable CD Laser Lense cleaner that does an excellent job of cleaning a portable CD Laser Lense that I can pick up at a local B&M store also.

Why couldn't it be a problem with pot settings? Doesn't the D-311 have pots? Sounds like the same thing my D-350 (D-35) was doing when I bought it off of ebay. I read some of the info posted earlier in this thread, took the case apart, made some adjustments, and now it works like a charm.
As for cleaning the lens, I have always used a cotton swab DAMPENED (not soaking wet) with either glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Others may disagree with this approach, but I've owned over 50 CD and MD players, and it always works fine for me.
For lubing the mechanism, I use a plastic compatible lightweight grease that I obtained from my local hobby shop. The brand name is LaBelle. They make many different varieties of lubricant.

new here. I have just spotted a Sony N2R35 in the paper for 5 English pounds, I suppose eight dollars? Is it worth getting even if a repair is necessary? Thanks.

Hi Brenda,
Welcome to the group. What exactly is a Sony N2R35? I did a Google search and came up with nothing. Do you know the year of manufacture, and original selling price when new?
Jeff

Hi Jeff and thanks for the welcome and response. The advertiser gave me that information when I rang him. He was a bit shady I think because at first when I asked him how old it was he said oh not that old maybe a few years. Then I said that I was looking for an old one and he said yes it is old!! It is too far for me to view so I will not bother. Thanks again. I will look on e-bay instread following the advise here to find an old sony discman. I am giving my present set up to my sons MS floor speakers, Harman Kardon amp and Yamaha cd player (along with the rest of the equipment which is my legacy after my marriage split ie MS centre speaker, Tsunami sub woofer and two extra speakers to make up surround sound system) I do not watch DVD's but love my music so I need some new equipment, so thinking of just using a disman in the meantime or perhaps permanently. I am impressed with my sons cans, Seinheiser's and like them better than my speakers as there is more detail and clarity in vocals though less separation. I am thinking of head-fi for the future.

I know that the case is already closed on this one - but to me, that model number looks remarkably similar to the MZ-R35 MD recorder.
An ex girlfriend of mine had one of these, looks quite MZ-R50ish, probably would've been worth picking up for a fiver

Bought a NAPA mp3 CD player. Very happy except the bit of plastic that connects with the closing mech is damaged and the lid dosn't stay down.
Any fixes please.
Thanks in advance!!!
