No disc display - Technics SL-DZ1200 CD Player

You have two discs in the player.

1. No disc. - Load a disc into the tray.
2. Disc has been loaded upside down. Place the disc with the label side up.
3. Disc region code does not match region code of the player.
4. Disc type is not the correct type to play.
5. Disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc or try another.
6. Moisture may be condensed inside the unit. Remove the disc and the leave the power on for one or two hours.

follow the steps and fix it.
God bless you

That means it can not focus on the disc or that you are using the wrong disc type like a DVD in a CD player. Try cleaning the lens.

Probably the laser lens needs cleaning.
Purchase a laser lens cleaner disc at Radio Shack ($13). No chemicals are involved.
Read & follow the instructions. It cannot harm the player if not done right.

Hi, the optical lens assembly has failed. this is triggering the (no disc) error code. you will need to replace this failed optical assembly.

The first thing to try is cleaning the lenses,sounds obvious,but i think thats why its continuing to try :initialising: if that fails the lense that reads the disc or both likely need realigning most problems that acure whith any cdplayers ect are down to the lenses.

I'm afraid you are dealing with a weakened Laser on the unit. The cost vs. benefit ratio of fixing this unit is not worthwhile.

You will find that there are newer versions of this device on the market less expensive than what you paid for the unit you have now.

"Over" is always lit in the display. It just marks the end of the VU meter scale.

You have a drive problem. Nothing to do with your track 15 operation.

I would suggest reseating the drive ribbon cables, oxidation of these is a common theme with my MDS-JE530 which shows the same symptoms periodically.

check the lens
