Advice for no sound issue on Philips DCC900

[kingbee]

Hello. I bought a Philips DCC 900 about 2003 or so. The unit is built like a tank. Used it a lot for awhile but afterwards it sat unused. When I try to play it now the mechanics of it all work perfectly but there is no sound. Not even through the headphone jack. I really don’t want to take it apart so I wonder if any of you have any ideas of what might be causing this. I received advice from the main DCC Museum site it is bad capacitors.
Any help on how to do this is appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Welcome to the forum,
If you replace the smd capacitors on both boards in the 900, you have a chance of bringing it back to life. We can surely assist you with that.

INI Error on RS-DC10

Hi, The capacitors are leaking and that caused the audio board to fail. We have seen the “ini-error” before. The audio board is located behind a metal cover to the right in the player and connected with a flat cable to the read-write board. You need to recap both boards. I have attached a screenshot of the Youtube video of the caps to use. [image]

DCC900 Capacitor replacement

Hello I was wondering if there was a diagram that showed the placement of capacitors when replacing them on the circuit boards of the DCC 900 player. I’ve watched Dr DCCs YouTube video on repairing the 900 and ordered the suggested replacement caps, but am unsure of their placement on the boards. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
