Hi to all,

I'm a new owner of this rare format of player/disc.
In Belgium it is an unknown system.
I had the luck to buy a Hitachi Vip-201P from the UK.

But I have a problem.
It seems that the disk won't come up anymore when the reset button is hit.
I've checked the belt between the gear and the motor.
It seems ok to me.. with a lot of grip.

When the reset button is hit, the stylus moves to the start position left. the positioning light of the needle is blinking while this should be lit... and the stereo indicator is also on...

The lift worked first, but the stylus arm wasn't working good. (the stylus did not move and a ticking mechanical sound could be heard)
I did open the player and managed to get it working again... the belt wasn't aligned as it should be...

But since than, the lift doesnt work anymore... (it only goes down..)

Any idea if this will be a mechanical problem?
How does the player know that the needle is returned and that the lift with the disk needs to go up?
Any idea where the switch can be which tells the player to lift he disk?
I guess that could be the problem too

Your help is much appreciated.. any idea's please

Thank you

Michel
