 Good evening, first of all I would like to thank you for having had the opportunity to join this group, let me introduce myself: My name is Valerio, I am a 59 year old electrical technician from Rome (Italy) and I also passionately enjoy some repairs and/or insights into electronics. I am adapting a Kenwood LS-VH7 to my desk, as I consider it a very interesting and particular machine. Unfortunately I noticed that although the radio section works great, The CD player makes some noises at the beginning. It needs time to warm up (about 4/5 minutes) then it plays wonderfully. Has anyone had the same problem and can tell me which components turned out to be faulty? Maybe even some capacitor that has lost its characteristics? I thank you in advance and send greetings to everyone
