Maintenance of Rubber Belt
Periodical maintenance or check is not required for
a rubber belt used for all CEC belt-drive CD transports
and players. However, the tension of the belt may be
lowered by using for years which may result unstable
reading of information on CD, noise during music
reproduction and/or jump of the music. The replacement
of the belt may solve the problem if it comes from
weaker tension of the belt.
If replacement of a belt does not solve the problem,
consult with the dealer that you have purchased.
An average of the life of a belt is 5 years. It is not
required to replace if musc reproduction goes well even
after 5 years.
Replacement of a rubber belt
No other rubber band than CEC original rubber belt
can be used for replacement. Require the CEC belt at the
dealer that you have purchased.
Remove the old belt.
Mount a new belt to the groove under the CD-turntable
through the clearance between pick-up cover and CD-
turntable.

Be sure the belt is installed at the grooves and the belt
is not twisted. Twist of the belt can be corrected easily
by using a pair of tweezers moving the center shaft by
hand.
