[viperfrank]

i know im a bit late but i just found the video but going back to what he said about the screws dont just check for missing screws look closly at the condition of the screws cos he may have had it apart and put them all back check to see if the screws has been mangles or out of shape like john said if it was sent back they would do it with a proper screw driver i worked for a company that repired electronics and 9 times out of 10 we would actuly just replace the scrwes anyway,hope this has helpt

How about playing a cd in it to make sure the laser is ok? I think it's hard to find top of the line equipment at half price, some makes like denon and pioneer really hold their value.

[BigRobb44]

i dont agree with the price thing ellaskins telling us.... Im goin to buy tomorrow 2denons dn-s1000 and the new price would be 400€ one.

i get one for 325€. and thats fine , altohough its not the half of it.... i mean the prices on cd player are still high , smae like technics. u can sell your technics after 10years for 70% the price u bought it.....

[compert]

well thats a lot. I bought 2 denons and a zomo case for a total of 350€

[soopa123]

second hand?

[compert]

second hand but mint

[soopa123]

did u buy it online? where can i find cheap dj gear online?

[Ryoga2K]

I also agree about the price thing, there is equipment that has better secondhand value than other, Technics turntables like you said are the best examples, but pioneer cdj-1000 also command high secondhand prices.

what if a metal edge on a double cd played is bent? could i just pull it back in place

6. sticking or repeating- could mean poor lubrication.

7. poor resistance to (minor!) knocks etc, if the laser power is mis set this can be very apparent.

8. press pause then play - does it restart from the exact point on the disc?

9. loose output sockets - sign of hard life, mechanical strain on the joints on PCB

10. check manual,accesories, cables are present.

hope this helps. I see a fair amount of this stuff for repair so thought I'd share some tech info!

[28019ab]

things to watch out for with cd inside and playing. part 1:

1. lf the deck 'hunts' in search, could be a weak laser amongst other things.

2. mechanical noise could be a problem with the sled.

3. Any jumping or the display going back to -0:00 - tracking error or misalignment

4. Any jitter - usually more common at disc start -could be bad spindle motor or other problem

5. slow read of disc TOC with hunting - focus error probable.

Hey! I am really impressed by your movies! What mixer would fit the Vestrax good? Behringer DJX700 ? :) please PM or reply me here!

Much repect, DJ Louis

[felicep88]

any basic 2 channel mixer over 75 sterling(UK) the djx700 would be great to start with

[MuggersAus]

anyone else having issues watching this vid - mine just loads forever and dosn't get anywhere?

[jamirophan]

thanks a lot, this is pretty damn useful

[theHappyViking]

I would add the following.

1. Make sure the insert/eject of the CD is fast and works.

2. Make sure the display is bright and all the lights turn on.

3. Check the jog-wheel sensitivity.

[Djsilentblaze]

hmm intersting i also think you can check the cd slot

it doesn't make sense but if u observe it sometimes when cd's are soloted in they hit the outersides of the slot and leave a little damage just an opinion

[BjornWarrior]

Tip: Ask to have the product turned on, especially for something like this.

Nice vid. Practice and N-Joy

hey jonathan, i need ur help on something.. could u make a video about timecoded packages, im confused, which one is better serato, torq , virtual vinyl..Thanks mate - much love

Dj pio

[JonAvalon]

Serato obviously is still the best, Traktor Scratch would probably be in 2nd now that its out. But i still like Torq & as the 2nd best alternative to serato especially for half the price. Id recommend it. Virual Vinyl is pretty good, but it is Virtual DJ & i could get the TC records & a good ASIO soundcard for cheaper. Although would recommend either serato, TScratch or Torq, id probably go torq if u need something cheaper. I have it & love it.
