The problem is possibly a bad flex cable used to connect the optical pickup to the CD player circuits. Check the flex cable for any sharp bends where there could be broken conductors.
I have a model CX-NA31 - CD spins three times and quits... the tray shifts to the next CD and does the same thing... Replacement parts aren't available - best thing about it is the programmable features and the optical output but their CD laser eyes have a short lifespan
If electronics such as stereos have problems and are not fully functional then you should always have a fire extinguisher close by for safety when your plugging them into the wall and testing them out because sometimes the capacitors and other internal components inside them explode and create sparks and smoke which can cause a fire
Just a comment, but it almost looks like the CD player isn't playing because the laser head can't move into the proper position. Considering how dirty that unit is, I might have cleaned the small guide rail that the laser head travels on, put a very tiny drop of lube on it, and try again. I would think those motors would rarely go out and with the extremely dirty condition of your unit, I would lean more towards a cleaning issue than a motor failure.
My JVC MX-GT700 has this same issue. Before the entire cd mechanism didn't even open, but I got everything working and it opens up and takes the disc now, but the cd does not spin.
Yes im aware of that. And the belts weren't melted they were dried out and stretched not enough tension on the pulley for rew and fast forward to work.

Ya sounds like the laser ether dead or dirty.

Ya well thats when ill just unplug it, and toss it out my door, then put the fire (if theres any) out with the hose haha

Same happens to mine. When I shook my aiwa, I got it to start playing the CD, it started skipping five minutes later
The same thing happened to my grandfather's CD jukebox, he would have to replace the CD drive like 5 times because of the laser
CD Mechanism seems to be all busted. It was a freebie anyway and its a Aiwa, you got some value there.
true. ill eventually try some more on the mechanism later. but still plays cassettes and hi-speed dubb recordings sound great.
me still working more than 20 years
These older Aiwas always had some sort of issue with the cd player.
After cleaning the lens, it worked better but still had issues.

Hmm. Might be a dead optic so it doesn't see a CD or the motor isn't spinning the CD
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 I think it's the motor. The laser I can see is glowing through my camera and it moves around. Just the cd won't spin.
@@TheJVCguy ok. Ya must be a bad motor or the circuitry to it may be broken so there's no current getting to the motor
@@christronicsdereksrandomness36 I'm thinking I will try reseating the ribbon cable going to it as well. hopefully its that simple hahaha
@@TheJVCguy Definitely worth a try. Good luck 👍
I have one like this, so i wanna use like extraspeakers but i dont know how, i can't find the input. cold be help me ? thanksx
might be a bad motor or somewhere in the circuitry. dought it will help, but try and reseat those ribbon cables.
Nothing was working. It played when it wanted to. the laser was most likely on the end of its life-cycle.
I have a Z-VR750 with exact same problems as yours. Except the cassettes sound like demons talking back to me
Thats makes me believe that its playing way too slow. Maybe a belt change is in order.
Tape Cassette Rewind Fast Forward is Not Working Belts Melted.
Yes im aware of that. And the belts weren't melted they were dried out and stretched not enough tension on the pulley for rew and fast forward to work.
My solution is connecting a external portable CD player to this because the CD portion is damaged
I thought of that very same thing too.

well the CD player randomly started working. its currently playing just fine!
Cool...i have one Z-R997
I have a cx zr997
