20 Most Recent Emerson MS3103 Shelf System Questions & Answers

I know that Panasonic provides chips, optics (laser),etc. to Emerson. I am familiar with the problem you've experienced because I've had a Panasonic CD Player. If the disc doesn't spin (as you said), the problem must be that your shelf system probably has an optical problem (laser problem/pickup problem) and will need to be serviced.

What DOES work? Headphones plugged in? MUTE on?

TOC stands for Table of Contents. On a MiniDisc recorder or CD recorder, a Table Of Contents MUST be written before a disc is usable. On A player, a TOC must be read before the unit knows where to find the songs. Sounds like the laser is NOT reading the TOC, so you will hear nothing until that is corrected (clean lens or replace unit). Try a storebought CD, as perhaps is doesn't like your own burned CD's and most units built before 2000 will not read your own CD's that you make.

If the unit does not recognise that a disc is present, it won't spin it. Normally, the laser will fire and any reflection will trigger the motor to start spinning so that the TOC can be read. From the sounds of it, the unit is not even recognizing the disc. I would have this unit checked. It is possible that the laser has failed or that the power supply for the laser is defective. In either case, this is not likely to be a DIY repair.

clean the laser lens

it sounds dumb, but i actually wiggled it back and fort (the whole unit) and it started to spin the disks

It just pulls out of the front. https://www.google.com/search?q=Emerson+turntable+MS9923TT+stylus+replacement ..

Incorrect programming. Some you have to press a 'Set' button before and after changing the hour. https://www.google.com/search?q=emerson+smartset+clock+radio+manual ...

Press and hold the "Standby/Snooze/ON" button until the time/alarm display disappears, that should do it

If anyone has an idea I would value the input. Thanks You can try resetting your clock's settings every night and ensuring that you set the time one minute before midnight. This should prevent the buzzer from going off at midnight. If that doesn't work, try unplugging it for a few seconds and then plugging it back in to reset the clock. You could also try using a dedicated outlet for your clock, so nothing else is accidentally interfering with its timer setting. Finally, you could try replacing your current clock with a new one if none of these solutions work.

Hello Peter, A MP3 player doesn't need device drivers. Its only the PC you connect it to that needs drivers. Here's a link that will prove helpful. Good luck! Free Emerson MP3 Player User Manuals ManualsOnline com

Hi, There's one on ebay now: Emerson Audio System Remote Control 646 2T106A 000 for MS3103 MS3105...

Wmagnuson, It is probably a bad solder joint on the display. Not cost effective to have this display problem on your clock radio fixed. "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. Check out some of my other posts if you need more tips and info."

Try to establish if it has power going to it. If not you are looking at the power supply. If it has power then you are looking the audio output. If you take off the top and see a device like in the picture then you can bet that has failed.

Warranty time. If i had a receipt, I'd take it back and ask for a replacement. https://www.emersonradio.com/service/warranty-registration/

It's not a magic clock that is connected to a satellite or a time server. You just advance the time 11 hours. Here is your manual at the page of setting the time. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/47230/Emerson-Ckd9901.html?page=10#manual ..

Hi, Please check the bottom and back of your alarm clock for the buzzer volume option. If you can't find it, please refer to your manual. If this is not in the manual, then it might no be built into your product and you might need to trade-in for a new alarm clock that allows you to adjust the buzzer volume. Thank you.
