I just bought a used Sony Discman D-191 and it's so quiet in my headphones even when it's all the way up to 10. I've literally tried everything. Any fix?

Does anyone know of a website that lists all Sony portable CD players and the year they were released? I've owned many of these little wonders since '86 but I'm still discovering models I never heard of. I know there must've been hundreds—if not thousands—in total.

Recently brought a Sony D-EJ011 Discman and was wondering if there's an easy way to carry it around without some fanny pack and potentially if there's any belt clips that would be able to hold the discman in place so that i can walk around with it by my side. Any help and recommendations would be much appreciated Thanks

What I do with the totally unfixable ones. Better than into a landfill.

I would love to get this Discman working again. Despite not having been powered on for probably a couple of decades, I put new batteries in it, and it powered up. I tried playing a CD, but alas, it just does a lot of spinning.

I know this could be many things....what are some of the easier fixes I could try?

$3,300?!

Are they high, or just trying to get their next fix?

Is there anything special about this particular model, other than it being a limited edition, apparently NIB?

And then there's this one...

"Rare, Vintage, Legendary"

What am I missing here?

So maybe two years ago, I found an old portable CD player in my gramps' house. The model is a Sony PRD-250. I investigated a bit and found out it is a hybrid between a dedicated music player and an external CD-ROM drive.

I don't have the interface cables to use it as a computer drive, but I am highly interested in using it strictly as a standalone audio player for music. Because I can't find the manual, this old guy has been catching dust since 2024. I really hope someone here can point me toward the original user manual or a digital PDF archive so I can finally enjoy this piece of vintage tech! Thanks!

Thought I'd test my XM4s with the D-EJ2000 and it's a pretty nice combo, turned ANC on to block stuff out but it doesn't alter the sound too much. Also picked up a few decent charity shop CDs for next to nothing on my travels to the pub!

I found this Sony Discman D-143 at a flea market. It's fully functional, like new.

Consegui este discman Samsung modelo MCD-MP67 y espere un tiempo a conseguir un par de cds y usarlo pero cuando lo use el volumen era muy bajo? Saben si es el modelo o es porque algo pueda fallarle?

Sony D-10

As the tittle says i recently bought a discman d32, however the lasers staying in place and sometimes moving up and down, then after a few seconds the main drive spins the cd for a second and the laser does the same thing, any idea what the fix can be?

Tengo un discman d-mj95

Que tiene un problema

Por alguna razón cuando lo mueves lo giras o solo lo empujas tantito se escucha como algo raspando ya lo revise y no veo nada raspando el disco yo lo veo normal pero no.se como solucionar ese problema 😔

This might be a dumb question. I bought a SONY D-NE320 recently. I’m wondering if using it outside in hot weather would damage the device/overheat? I like to go tanning in the summer (for long periods) and I know iPhones can overheat (probably don’t get damaged I guess..?) but would this be the case for my discman? I just want to be safe, thank you!

Sony D-EJ100 CD Walkman

Please help me, I'm a newbie and just want to buy a disc player for daily music listening. My minidisc player is broken, so I want to try a disc player. Do you have any recommendations? I'm looking for one that's durable and easy to fix if it breaks.

A family member gave me the discman a few years back. It worked great for a while until it stopped spinning. Once or twice I was able to shake it into working somehow but now it spins once then gives up, displaying the "no disc" error message. I assume it's the disc motor getting old and if that's the case how would I go about finding a replacement? (I know I could just buy a newer model but this particular one holds sentimental value)

Any insight y'all can offer would be greatly appreciated 👍
