Have a Technics SC-CH530 HiFi (worked fine when last used 4yrs ago) made up of Tuner ST-CH530, Amp SE-CH530, cassette deck RS-CH730 and CD SL-CH530. All works fine at normal volume except for the CD; it does function but is barely audible even with sound at full. I've looked inside all parts and resistance tested the cables the cables but see nothing untowards so I'm guessing a component or part of a PCB have failed with one of my many house moves. If anyone can advise if there is a quick fix I'm overlooking I'd be grateful as this is the last hope before trashing it.
Have you tried cleaning the unit, there are discs to do that, 4 years is a long time?
Hi Sam. Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of that seeing as it was providing output, thinking (in my limited tech mind) that if something is stopping the digital read then I would have got nothing at all rather than hardly audible. I actually think that it is more like 8 years, too, as I missed a move where I had not used it!
Despite the moves (every 2 years) it has always been in its proper boxes and, so, has been generally looked after. If it is not cleaning, could it be anything else (which I could test for)?
Have you solved the problem?

please bring a good contact cleaner from radio shack near you and apply the spray over the socket of the headphone(the place where you put your headphone jack)take headphone jack out and apply spray in and insert the jack in and out many times.-also check your system setup and confirm that all speaker are on- no mute button pressed-no cable is disconnected.

Yes, it is a little tricky...
1) CD Changer (output) -> CD input on Amp
this is tricky... this will allow you to record to your tape deck, and control the sound via the EQ:
2) Tape Deck (tape out / recout) -> TAPE PLAYBACK on EQ
3) Tape RecOut on EQ -> Tape 1 Playback on Amp
4) Amp Tape 1 RecOut -> Tape Deck Playback / Input / RecIn
in essence, your creating a loop starting from the tape deck, going to the eq, then to the amp, then back to the tape deck to record.
Your EQ has another set of LINE IN and LINE OUT - use the second Tape 2 on the amp to create another loop. This will
allow you to control the EQ for any of the other sources.
5) LINE IN on EQ -> Tape 2 RecOut
6) Tape 2 Playback on Amp -> LINE OUT on EQ
5) Radio Tuner (output) -> Tuner input on Amp
6) DVD/VCR Combo Output -> AV/AUX on Amp
7) PC Computer... you don't have room for this. You can either use the PHONO input, and you'll have to purchase a Line Level Phono Converter
or, get a Y cable and split the signal and share with some other source.
Hope this helps.

Since you have all the model info on hand, go to the manufacturers web site, look for the support page. if it is an older system, you'll want to look under older products, legacy or OLDER equipment. If that does not work, then try google. If all else fails, just remember>>> the Equalizer is the last component that plugs into the AMP's INPUT.
Please don't cut a cable, You won't be able to repair it. There must be a way to lose the cable without cutting. I forgot, but I will search around. When I find something I'll come back on this.
