DA-11 and DA-11.5 Known Issues  
 
  • Mistracking or Disc Error readings. The Philips CDM-12.1 laser mechanism tends to fail after several years. The solution is to install a new one. MCM Electronics has them for about $26 -- P/N 32-18255, telephone 1 800 543 4330 (North America) or +1 937 434 0031. Fax 937 434 6959. Or we can install this part here for $245 + return shipping.
  • Loose tray belt. The belt that connects the tray motor to the tray sometimes becomes loose causing unreliable opening and closing of the tray. The replacement belt can also be purchased from MCM Electronics: P/N 42-150 -- about $0.50 + shipping. We can install this belt for the minimum service fee of $220 + return shipping.
