I have a Yamaha CDX-590 CD player and it skips on some CDs - original CDs, these CDs play without problems on my other CD players.
I have changed the laser unit (KSS-210A) but this didn't solve the problem.
When I turn the player upside down, it plays the problematic CDs without a problem.
That's why I think the laser needs adjustment.
I have only a service manual for the CDX-493/593 but they should be very similar to the CDX-590.
It seems that the adjustments are done via "test mode" of the CDX-590, unfortunately there is not much information, how to exactly, in the service manual.
Here is a picture of the PCB.

Here are the "test mode" sections of the service manual.

In "test mode" I have tried Auto adjustment mode 1, 2, 3, but I don't know if it should work fully automatic without any intervention or when the mode is fineshed and I can proceed to the next one.
So I activated mode 1, waited a while, activated mode 2, waited a while, activated mode 3, then exited test mode.
It didn't help.
Mode 1 - only a short blink of two horizontal dashes on the display and thats it
Mode 2 - started "play" without sound from a strange time 99:00 (the test CD is not so long), after a while it skips to another time, "plays" a while, then skips back and "plays" and so on, I left it about an hour and it was still going on
Mode 3 - seems to be very short as mode 1
I think I'm missing something ...
Maybe someone did this or even serviced Yamahas in an official service and can provide information how to adjust the laser?
Or maybe the problem is not the laser?
Sziasztok!
Nem régiben kaptam egy hibás harman/kardon tunert (TU912) rosszan, ha tudom csináljam meg magamnak. Úgy néz ki, hogy alapvetően működik a gépezet, de azt vettem észre, hogy a Bartók rádió torzan szól ha hangosabb zene szól éppen (de összehasonlítva nem hangosabb, mint más adó), a többi adónál nem észleltem a problémát sem előtte, sem utána a "skálán", ha monóra váltom a tunert akkor valamit javul a helyzet, de nem szűnik meg a torzítás így sem. Elsőre úgy tűnik mintha az adóval lenne a gond, de nem hinném, hogy akkor én lennék az egyedüli akinek ez feltűnik, egyébként Budapesten hallgatózok (105,3 MHz) és szabványos felépítésű 300Ohmos T-antennát használok. Mi lehet a gond?
Has anybody an idea how to remove the CD drive from the box?
I have the problem that the cd door hangs
Many thanks

Original problem is no sub woofer output. Been through this one and recapped it and the common 2 burned 1K (R16/17)
resistors are replaced but the sub is still not responding. Volume control potentiometer is a common issue on these but
the L-R spkrs sound good.
Went by this webpage on the repair:
https://christopherbradshaw.net/The_Project_Bin/klipsch%20promedia%20subwoofer%20repair%20-%20page%201.html
On the schematic there is a sub-relay (sw101) powered by +V_HF line it
maybe is suppose to be +V_LF ? Without the relay coming on looks like the sub is disconnected.
The zeners (D03/04) that give +/- Vcc to the op amps seemed way off so I replaced them and the voltages seem much closer.
Theres also a sub-mute line on p104 to p101. Power supply shows the LF mute relay and interconnect diagram says it
gets fed from the LF amp. What is triggering the mute? I dont see a mute button anyplace.
