CD player #2 locked on a commercial CD that worked very well on my home machine. This causes me frustration and embarrassment on air and sets a hokey tone for the station overall. I mean, you simply do not hear this kind of breakdown on other stations.
Neither turntable is currently usable as there is an audible buzz in both. Both CD players 1 and 2 skipped on my repeatedly. (Those are typically the ones that "work.") So essentially I had no hardware to play on my show tonight without noises or skipping damaging the listenability of the show.
I have to echo Ron Marsh's frustration over the CD players. This model has been awful forever and it needs to be replaced...and emphatically NOT replaced with more of the same CD player. We need CD players that 1) work, 2) have a fast forwarding function so we can scan through the tracks, and 3) have a loading tray.
Players 2 and 3 failed, and the disc finally played on #4. Later a disc began well on player 4 but track noise got bad and I had to fade it out and restart it on #1, which seems to perform the best.
My household donated $150. this year for Radiothon. When will we see donations going into equipment replacement?
Players 2 and 4 both failed with two discs each today, and eventually I shut down 4. Machine 3 failed with one disc.
Machine #1 seems to be the most reliable.
Folks, it's getting a bit discouraging, and I failed even to note here the problems I had last Thursday.
When you're not acknowledged, and when no remedies whatsoever are made after months of problems... is there any use in continuing to make reports?
minor thing, but the clock on the board still needs to be reset to the correct DST time
Buzzing
BUZZES very noticeably
When i turned off mic 3 to continue playing from aux2 it made a horrible scratching noise over the studio speakers for about 30 seconds and then just stopped. it wasn't playing on air, just within the studio speakers
Machine skipped with a commercial (not home-made) CD. Again on-air disruption and embarrassment as I groped for a replacement CD player. WHEN WILL WE GET NEW CD PLAYERS? Please note: My entry from 2 weeks ago went unanswered.
Good CD locked and would not play. On-air embarrassment for me. Perennial question: WHEN WILL THESE MACHINES BE REPLACED?
Balance is heavy to the left on TT2 and needs adjustment
TT1 also making grumbling noises - I believe it is an issue with the motor, as I am using the jazz depts stylus and it is still occurring
Doesn't sound right - grumbling noise alongside a buzzing noise.
Thank you
When I came in to do my show this morn, I noticed that the bypass had been engaged on the Delay device (the white light on the bypass button was on). I turned it off, pressed the green build button, and then the delay was restored and the red light on the the dump button is on, so all is well. Question is why the bypass had been activated? Did it come on after a power outage during weekend storm, or was there a "whoops" by someone? Same with the Sam Feed button on the board, it was off when I came in as well. Why??
can't find adaptor for head phones
Second Dan's comment on TT1 - cartridge & stylus need replacing badly. TT2 has issue with light buzzing noise when playing music
Monday 1/1: When finished my jazz show at 10am used computer for ID and PSAs but when turned A/B button off playlist did not come on stayed and played some classical music on my laptop while I packed up but left dead air when I had to leave at 11:00
Cartridge/stylus is shot on TT1 and desperately needs to be replaced.
Record Player by the computer sounds off. Kind of grumbling/muffing alongside the music (doesn't sound crisp/clear compared to other player). I tested WRIU on my phone and could hear the muffling noise.
Record Player by log book: Crisp and clear, but light buzzing sound.
skipping on a brand new cd
