Ex DENON Professional CD Player
I am very much "into" sustainability, a complete retro CD player represents a LOT of embedded energy and to waste that embedded energy is a very bad thing, even worse is to bury it in landfill and subsequently poison our environment!
What is embedded energy?
Embedded energy is a measurement of the total energy that was used to create a component, a module or a complete piece of equipment originally.
So why has this DENON DN-650F become an "organ donor"?
The DN-650F is a pretty basic machine designed with the professional in mind and it was specifically targeted at the DJ market but could/can also be found in broadcast studios. Designed for rack mount with balanced analog outputs and a digital ouput - basic controls including Cue and a pitch control
Some years back the laser assembly failed, the machine was updated/replaced with some Tascam and Studer machines and it has just been sitting in a box waiting for me to look at it again. I no longer consider it worthwhile to replace the laser assembly as I have no use for this machine anyway, so the machine has now been parted out.
FYI, the laser used in these units is the KSS-240A
DENON Single Disc CD Player SPARE PART
Model # DN-650F
PCB Part # GU-2752
Module is the analog audio outputs, balanced to 2x XLR 3 pin male sockets. Next to each socket is a small user accessible (from the rear panel) level adjustment control. Complete with the flying lead which connects to the Mainboard.
CONDITION:
Cosmetically all items are in very good condition, known to be fully functioning as I had the CD player powered up a couple of times prior to dismantling the machine. Because the laser assembly has failed I was unable to push audio through this board so it is untested but I have no reason to doubt this board - the laser was the issue with this machine.
These components (as pictured) have now been sealed within plastic and will be supplied this way.
