Spinback problem on Stanton C.314, why? More on Buttons

Here is some important information:

Here is the info on the tact switches I used to replace the originals:

Newark part number: 89C4171
Manufacturer's part number (Omron): B3F-6022

Don't replace the switches yourself, unless you have professional soldering experience, the solder joints need to be reliable, as they will be stressed during use. If you do not have experience soldering, and you need to replace switches... you can buy these switches are have a repair shop put these switches in. Find a reputable repair shop.

Here is a link to someone who is rather good with scratching on these decks:

Given, for the serious scratch DJ, you want turntables, but these aren't bad for a inexpensive CD deck.

i have these deck's and sometimes they don't read the cd, displays "no disc". i don't know if it's the actual deck or maybe the cd's im using. anybody know i way to fix this..?

thanks

@MegaDirtybird: I fiddled with mine a long time. These decks have a lot of issues, and I eventually replaced mine with some CDI500's. A better replacement in the same price range as the C.314/324 would be a pair of Radius 1000's, or Denon DNS1200's.

Hi, i have the same cd decks. I supose this happens beacuse it must have a jog wheel speed control-limit, i think it will reach a very high speed when the laser lense wont read the disc and the music will freeze,also the anti shock may fail. so i think it has a limit to avoid this. imagine if you put a motor to spin your jog wheel so it can go a lot faster u can spin it with your hand, even a cdj1000 would fail at certain speed... I dont know. something like that to make shure music wont fail...

[sleeperawaken36]

Spinning the jog wheel does nothing to the movement of the CD disc in the tray. The scratch effect is a digital effect, and done by digital processing, not by actually changing anything about how the CD spins. The music on the CD disc is digital data, not like a vinyl record. The CDI500, which is similiarly priced, does NOT have the same problem, and does a spin back just fine.

buy cdj 1000's or dont do spinbacks

[sleeperawaken36]

Thank you, but no. I can do spin backs just fine on a dozen other decks besides the CDJ1000.

i have a iDJ2 and the backspin seems to be like the same on Stanton c.314

you have to burn them at 8x

I had these decks, the problem is that the response in vinyl mode is horrible. The latency is still the same on the C324's. Not only failure in the buttons but they have difficulty reading MP files.One one deck it wouldn't even read my CD. If you're going with cd decks I would suggest Denon's or Pioneer. These ones have a lot of looks but in reality they are a failure waiting to happen. I sold mine.
