CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

Also, check that the disc is centered on the turntable. If the disc is not perfectly centered, the variation in distance as it spins may too great for the armstretcher to correct, and can result in a ...

So what was the solution?

(BTW, this should apply to all J/K players.)

When the player is in any mode other than load ("L") or unload ("UL"), a mechanism closes and "locks" the door flap to pre ...

If your goal is robustness and long-term reliability, CEDatum's replacement switch panel would be the way to go. However, I successfully repaired the front panel membrane switches in my SKT-400 using ...

Hi again,

I watched parts of the disc tonight to check its condition. It looks as if it has seen relatively little use for a rental disc. There is some noise in the picture from about 20 to 40 mi ...

Hi everyone,
I have been looking for this animated version, of the c.s. lewis classic, for about 3 months.

I have a copy that I found in a lot at a local thrift store in SC. It was previously ...

Hey. Just to let you know, the player is starting from the beginning now. I've done about three run-throughs of movies and it's working much better. Maybe the 090 has a mind of it's own??

I had the ...

I know this is a little off-subject since this is not a hi-def component, but I have my SKT-400 connected to an old Proxima DP2800 LCD projector made in 1993. This is certainly not in the same class ...

All of my discs on my SJT-400 will always start almost 30 seconds in. Is it a player or stylus problem?

Thanks,
Dan

I had a similar problem with my SKT-400 which affected most, but not all, di ...

Hi John, good to hear from you! I recall a discussion we had a couple of years ago about the possibility of a kit like this, but you indicated there did not seem to be much demand for it, so I didn't ...

Tom,

I installed the cooling fan mod in my SKT 400 as per your instructions at http://www.cedmagic.com/tech-info/400-fan-install/400-fan-install.html. Thanks for all the great information and for ...

I finally got around to playing with this. I tried the first method (cleaning the platter and pad) first, but it didn't work. I found that my player was exhibiting the same symptom that mnallard rep ...

I realize that this thread is a few years old, but this seems an appropriate place for this post. Having just successfully repaired the membrane keypad behind the front panel buttons in my SKT400 wit ...

I found the Stereo Alignment Disc by searching under "video disck" and paid a very low price for it - I suspect no one found it because of the misspelling. I have also often spotted Selecta ...

I was seeing great low starting bids, but reserve and buy it now prices that were in the hundreds of dollars. Granted I like my hobby, but I think that's a bit much.
I was in the same situation when ...

I have an RCA SKT400. When some discs are loaded, I can hear the disc "rubbing" as it spins at a speed inconsistent with the turntable platter speed for several seconds after the turntable ...

As much as I love to tinker with devices such as my SKT400, I've been tight on free time lately so I decided to just replace U4400 and U4500 per Smoky's suggestion. Lo and behold, it worked -- easy r ...

I worked on this a couple of years ago and also had a problem with the player's logic control, but as a result of attempting to adjust R3202, per the mod description on CED Magic. I could actually co ...

Smoky Pond, thank you very much for the hints about the audio circuitry and for telling me what to look for. The tips should certainly help. And most of all thank you for the link to the J400 servi ...

Wow, a very good question -- I hadn't even tried that. But putting it to practice, yes, the sound level of a stereo disc is about the same as a mono disc through the RF output.

My SKT400 plays audio from mono discs at about the same level as my other entertainment components, but when a stereo disc is loaded (the "STEREO" indicator lights), I have to turn my amplifier's volu ...

Regarding the addition of the composite video output jack to my SFT-100W, I checked into it a little more today. It seems that the video level (R3202) can be adjusted so that it is probably just about ...

Hi Tom, thanks for replying!

I guess I could have been clearer in my original post. I see now how my wording left the problem a little open to interpretation.

The variable resistor R3202 seems ...

Hi there!

I added audio and composite video outputs to my SFT100 via the method described at http://www.cedmagic.com/home/cedfaq.html#twofifteen .

My problem is that I am unable to adjust R3202 ...
