Hello Everybody,
i just got D-66 from Ebay without AC adaptor.
could anybody be kindly to tell me what AC adaptor i need to get?
i mean like Volt, polarity, mA for out put.
TIA

I don't own the unit, but many items that have an AC adapter input either have the voltage requirement/polarity printed or in raised plastic near the input.

Maybe that isn't the case with the D-66 but might want to break out the magnifying glass and have a close look.

It probably needs a 9v adaptor like the D-35 I have; although, I don't know for certain.

You're the guy who outbid me on that Aiwa XP-55 I wanted at like 15 seconds to close!

Oh well.

According to the manual, it should need a 6 volt adaptor with the centre of the plug positive.

There is a note in the manual that says you should not use the adaptors for other Discmen that use 9 volts.

Hello again,
if you read that manual there're 2 AC adapter one 6 V and the other 9 V.
which one the right one?
i tried both of them nothing work. display only shown 00 after couple second shut off by itself.
the seller stated that player is new(with missing AC adapter).
i just suspect that player is defective.
any suggestion?
Thanks to Everybody that give me quick response.
Filburt, i'm sorry Man to outbid you on XP-55, next time i'll promise to stay away when i see xp-55 show up again.
by the way this player is superb in sound term(IMO), you won't regret it when you get this model.

Thanks manoppo

. Could you describe in a little more detail what it does when you try to play a CD?

On a related note, I tried a Sony 4.5v adapter with my D-33 (requires 9v) and believe it or not, it worked... yes, the batteries were removed when I tried it. Just about blew my mind, but I guess it makes sense given the player runs OK on four 1.2v batteries. Wouldn't want to run it at that low a voltage tho, possibly restricts dynamics or causes other issues.

Manoppo2,

Take a look at the ac jack on the D-66, near to the ac jack on the D-66 there should be an indcation as to wether your D-66 takes a 9v or 6v adapter with a negative (-) or postive (+) polarity tip. Since you have mentioned that your D-66 powers up after trying a ac adapter and that the lcd display shows 00 then shuts off after a while indicates that your D-66 may be faulty. If you tried to play a cd and the lcd displays 00, it indcates that the laser is unable to read the cd for some reason or another.

i just came back from sony service center.
It's confirmed that faulty from lense like warubozu said.
to fix it will cost me fortune.
Filburt, xp-55 is really beast. it reads CDR, CDR-W.
this player is underated not so many head-fier mention it.

Manoppo, glad to hear it on the Aiwa. Unfortunately, the XP-55 seems to be a rare find nowadays on eBay. Hence my disappointment on not getting it!

Open the D-66 up and adjust the Tracking Balance first, then maybe the Tracking Gain, Focus Gain, and Focus Bias. On one player, I had to adjust every pot on the cd player (including the PLL) to get it to work correctly.

Hopefully, you'll be able to salvage the player.
