I DJ'd with a pair of these for many years. The "flow chart" area does not light up. LOL, I still have one of these in a flight case.
Best,otari :-)

Thanks, otari!I saw an image on a Technics site where it certainly appeared as if that portion of the display was meant to illuminate. The other tags do work properly.
Any ideas about why it won't play other commercial CD recordings?
Thanks again!

As I understand it, it has to do with the laser servos not tracking certain discs (off center,etc) properly.I had several of these in a radio station back when they came out, and they were forever in the shop; same issues. They wouldn't track all discs, wouldn't read TOC, door wouldn't stay closed. No matter how we adjusted them (back then, you could adjust all parameters of the unit; focus, intensity, tracking, etc), we couldn't get them to function with all discs.
We finally replaced them with the 1300 series, and all of the problems went away.
Hi jdiamantis:Thanks for the information! Heck, I guess that nothing that retails for $1500 works perfectly, right?
Interesting!
I'll try to relubricate the rails and clean the lens and give it another tryout, otherwise, it is available as a nice looking 30 or so lb paperweight!
