Author Topic: CD player help Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-18-2003 01:16 AM                        I have a Denon DN-650F cd player that has a few small *issues* the most annoying of which is the mono playback. I have verfied that the DAC's are ok, and the PCM stream coming out of the back port is mono as well. Is there a microprocessor that died, and is it worth trying to fix?

If you have a CD player which outputs the same signal on both channels - or did you mean that one channel is simply dead? - that suggests that there is indeed something wrong in the decoding microprocessor.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

For what it's worth, the DN-C680 can be configured for either mono or stereo output through the configuration menu. To get to this, hold down the "Play mode" button while hitting "Standby/Cue". Then, use the track select knob to scroll through the menu items. One of these is stereo/mono. Maybe the DN-C650F has similar options and has been conifigured for mono output (maybe by some AM station somewhere).  |  IP: Logged
