Title: Off Topic, but for the Germans who frequent
Post by: boardjunkie on July 07, 2011, 11:49:28 pm
I need to touch up calibration on my Braun/ADS CD3 CD player. The only service manual I could find is in German. Can a German member translate the calibration procedure as noted in the SM?

Pages 6-9 in this PDF:

Note, there is 2 parts to the .rar file that unzip to make the complete PDF.

There are enough language to English text translators out there on this thing some call the interweb.

I'd be right there with you, Fallacy, but he's got a PDF, which the usual things, Google translate, etc. don't work with.  Later versions of Acrobat and many flatbed scanners have OCR code that's pretty good.  Once you've got the text, then you can machine translate:

unfortunately, Pretty good ocr + pretty good machine translation = pretty bad technical document. 

junkie- have you considered calling tech support?  I know they have some support in the states.

Sorry, thought it was a Braun product.  Braun is around but got out of audio years ago, so I guess their not supporting anything anymore.  Haven't seen any ADS ads etc. for quite a while.  [goes back under rock] :cheers:

I don't need someone to tell me how to do the adjustments, I can easily handle that. I need that section of the manual translated so I know where to set the adjustments via the test points.

So yea, I guess its the section called "electrical adjustment using oscilloscope" from pages 6-9.
