1297.0. "D-10 problems (auto only)" by SMAUG::SPODARYK () Wed Aug 10 1988 08:41

    
         I've been using my Sony D-10 for the past 8 months connected
    to a stereo or with headphones, and haven't had any problems.  I
    think its a great little player.                
    
         Last week I bought the Sony cassette adapter so that I can use 
    it in my car.  Every time I try to use it, the D-10 plays great
    for about 5-15 minutes (good sound, no skips on bumps, etc) then
    it starts to have problems.  It doesn't really skip, but seems to be
    more of a "dropout", this occurs repeatedly every second or so. 
    It happens regardless of what CD I try to use.  I use the player
    on my front passenger seat.  The orientation of the player doesn't
    make a difference (facing front, sideways, etc).
    
             Has anyone had (or heard) of this type of problem ?  I didn't
    think it was the adapter because it does work great for the first
    2 songs.  This is very annoying because it takes me 3 songs to get 
    to work. :^)  I would also like to use it on trips.  
    
    Looks like the SSC for me...   (sony service center... oh no !)
    This had better be under warrenty...

    	I think it would be wise if you try to borrow an adaptor from
    	a friend so that you can determine where the problem is. If
    	you take the player in for service, you will be charged a fee
    	just to look at it regardless whether or not there is really
    	something wrong with it. Purchasing another adaptor would
    	probably cost you another $30. anyway which could be used
    	towards the repair of the player should there be something
    	wrong with it. If I were you, I'd try to borrow an adaptor.
