uh-oh... You damaged an SDDS...If any of the main boards are damaged on it, its gonna be *VERY* expensive to fix if the boards require replacement. According to the quotes I got from Sony, it will cost more than a used DA20 or DTS6 to replace the boards. Figures. Aaron

I also value and appreciate the participation of other equipment suppliers like Sony, Dolby, DTS, Strong, Cinemeccanica, QSC, etc. in helping solve problems. Working together, we can solve problems and learn where improvements are needed.BTW, it's ALWAYS a good idea to power down equipment before switching components. ------------------ John P.

This sounds like a problem that I had on 2 of my units over the last 2 years.On pages 28-30 of the DFP reader head manual found on this site there are exploded views and parts lists for the reader. directly behind the sprocket is part 115, which looks like an old wagon wheel. directly to the left of this item is part 107 which is printed circuit board PC-74. This board has an emitter/sensor component. Basically the "Wagon wheel" spins with the sprocket and breaks the light beam in part 107 which times the blinking of the LED's to read the SDDS information. I have had the emmitter/sensor that is on the PC-74 board fail on two units shortly after I got to my current location. We attributed them to a lack of blowing the dust out of the readers on a recular basis. IF the LED's blink once when you turn on the system but not when you spin the sprocket, I would be willing to bet that this is your problem fixed for less than 60 bucks. Have fun trying to order the part though. the PN listed will get you the blank PC-74 card, not the component or the plug. I would call SONY and have them find the part number for the assembly and post it here as a reference. Robb Johnston
