Sony Discman No Audio

Guest
I have a Sony Discman model # D-E201 that no longer produces an audio
output. I have confirmed it with headphones and discs that are known to
work in other machines.

My question, is this an easy cost effective fix or should I just toss it and
buy another?

Does it still recognise Cds and track them as it would if playing?

Toss it. Discmans are cheap.

The current state of portable CD manufacture is dismal. We are 3 for
3 around here now--2 Sonys and Rio--all either DOA or died shortly
after. I think that the industrial giants must be trying to kill the
format--I know my son has now given up on having a CD portable.

You might be buying too cheap a unit. My experience with the better Sonys has
been generally pretty good.

Thanks to all group participants who, for the most part confirmed my feeling
to toss it was the best option. Is the recommended choice a solid state mp3
player? thoughts or opinions welcome.

Tell the manufacturer that you're willing to pay $400 for a portable
CD player if they'll build it like a $400 portable CD player.
Unfortunately people have become accustomed to paying $19.95, and
that's what they get.

Sony makes some $400 portable CD players that are very bulletproof, but
I am not sure they are available in the US. I do think some of the
"sports discman" models in the $150 range might still be available but
you're going to have to special order it since I doubt any dealer will
carry one.

People want $19.95 crap, and then they wonder why they get quoted $50/hr
to fix it when it falls apart. The market for consumer electronics products
that actually work and don't fall apart is very limited.

I just bought an iRiver iHP-120 -- a 20GB jukebox with stereo FM radio, plus a
lot of other features -- and I'm blown away. It costs $400.

I've had a Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox 3 for over a year and it still
works fine, but I've never dropped it and take reasonable care of it.

It has a 20 GB hard drive (also available with a 40 GB drive),
records, plays, and has both a USB and Firewire interface (which
doesn't work with a Mac so I'm told) for copying files to and from a
computer.
