skipping cd player

[peiserg]

new alpine s634 mounted vertically in left rear of trunk.. is there a better position and/or location to alleviate this problemo? really irritating!!

I had the same problem ended up being an adjustment that needs to be made for it to work properly in the vertical position. It comes setup to run in the horizontal. Do you have the instructions?

I have the same setup. Moving the positioning screw changes the position of the elastomeric bands suspending the unit in the case. I imagine it would be really bad if adjusted wrong. Even with it correct, I get a skip once in a while when I hit some very rough road when the temperatures are below 50°F. Never skips when the weather is warmer. I am guessing the the elastomer becomes less supple with temperature. All in all, a great unit.

Yeah, i have the lever in the appropriate position ("V") for a vertical position. by vertical i mean the CD loading door faces sky-ward.. hopefully it will improve as temps warm up, since i live in phoenix!

I assume you mean levers?

 

[JPS Europa]

Good point. Did you change both sides? I suppose in Phoenix you can forget the temperature thing. It should not skip much if adjusted right. You might have to exchange it.

ooh i meant lever, not levers. I assumed both sides were connected to each other and flipping one flipped both, so i never checked after i changed the first one... i'll go check it right now..

hmm. didn't flip one of the sides. Ok, hope this helps. Thanks guys..
