Thank you Derek.
I have now gotten around to do all the tests again. The laser is lasing, and all tests works out as they should:
After having put the ouverture in Test mode, without a CD in the player, and pressed CD I:
- pressed 1, and the laser switched on and searched focus
- pressed 2, and the laser switched off
- pressed 3, and the CD motor started running with the laser going into the starting position
- pressed 4, and the CD motor stopped
- pressed 5, and the laser arm moved the full way down
- pressed 6, and the laser arm moved up towards the centre.
I then loaded a CD, brought the system into test mode again, and pressed CD. I had expected error messages, but all I got was the <> in the display.
The Ouverture is obviously not able to read or recognise a CD, although the laser is lasing. Is it fair to assume that the electronics is defect? I have found a refurbished CDM12 mechanism with the electronics in Germany. Would it be worth a try to change the mechanism or do I need a specialised B&O version of the CDM12?
Thank you for your valuable advice.
