Welcome at my CD-Pro2M/CD-Pro2LF building site
Building a "High End" audio Compact Disc player from scratch isn't that difficult when using a CD-Pro2M unit to start with. Or the latest version, the CD-Pro2LF. This "Lead Free" unit is the RoHS compliant and firmware updated brother of the CD-Pro2M.
To control this unit you can even order a complete controller-display pcb along with it, check out the links page where to buy a unit. Or, if you're into audio/electronics/"re-inventing the wheel" DIY like me, you build and program a controller your self. So that's what I'm doing.
What this is not ...
First of all, these pages are not intended to be a complete manual to build a CD player. It's just a collection of information that was already on the Internet supplemented with my own creations (like schematics, pcb and source code).
As all DIY audio projects this one is never competely finished, I'm still working on it. I try to keep this website up to date with the status of the project.
What this is ...
On this page you'll find some information about the CD-Pro2M/CD-Pro2LF unit and the DSA protocol used to control this unit. Next is the controller I designed, getting input from panel buttons, the remote control unit and some sensors, and controlling the CD-Pro2M/CD-Pro2LF unit. A microcontroller is nothing without some software and that's what you will find on the "Source code" page. The power supply unit for the CD unit comes with a couple of relais for turning on and off the CD player in a decent way. A page of the actual mechanical building process is followed by some useful datasheets and links.
Enjoy reading and start building!
