I just got a new DVD player and I noticed that when playing a CD-R data
file (AVI) it makes a clicking or chirping noise every second. Regular
DVDs play fine, I have no DVD-Rs to try, and I haven't had a chance to
try another CD-R. However, I've read reviews where other people had the
same problem with this model and also with a similar but different
model by the same company.

Is there any reason the DVD player would be making a noise while
playing the CD-R?

Some old time repairmen can often figure out problems by experience. See if
you can find someone locally.

Your TV's internal degaussing coil should eventually take care of the
problem. After a number of power cycles over a period of time should clear
it up. If you turn the set off for about an hour, and turn it on, the
degaussing coil should activate. I would not suggest cycling the set's power
on and off specifically to degauss the screen. Start-ups are hardest on any
electronic devices.

The quicker and more sure way to degauss the screen is to get a degassing
coil that is designed for that purpose. Any of the TV service people who
have been replacing CRT's and servicing TV sets, should have one. See if you
can put down a deposited to borrow or rent it, or simply have their tech
come over and degauss your set. The service call would probably be cheaper
than buying one that you may only use one time in the life of the set. Your
next set will most likely be a Plasma or LCD type screen. There are no
degaussing problems with these.

Sometimes, when a magnet is swiped across a CRT, the mask can be damaged. If
this is the case, then the damage is permanent, and the only fix is to
replace the CRT. A CRT replacement is not worth the money for any consumer
set.

Hello,

sorry if it is off-topic for this group,
but I am urgently looking for the service manual for this device.

Any help is wellcome.

Please email me.

Thank you.

All crt tv's have a built in degaussing circuit. They use a PTC (positive
temperature coefficient) resistor to limit the current through the
degaussing coil. Therefore when the TV is first turned on, the coil sees a
large current, as the PTC heats up the current decreases (resistance
increases) until it reaches a very low current that won't affect the CRT
deflection. When the set is turned off, the PTC cools down, lowering it's
internal resistance for the next TV turn on. If you just cycle the set
normally eventually it should correct itself.

If you have 110V (ish) AC, then yes.
if it gets hot let it cool down.

you can try to erase it using the same magnet reversed, this won't be
perfect,

or give it a few weeks, it'll fade gradually.

Or if you're in a hurry you can erase the mark using an ac powered
electromagnet.

Or take it to a TV repairman, it's a 2 minute job.
