Can this heat damage CD's?
I recently bought an Alpine in-dash CD player/radio for my car. I've
noticed that whenever I play a CD in it for a few minutes, that after ejecting it, the CD is quite hot to the touch. Is this normal? If not (I suspect not -- I just spent two weeks in a rental car on a trip, and the CD's were always cool to the touch after ejecting -- no matter how long I played them), can this damage the CD's. Could the player be defective? Victor Miller |

If the player were this defective, it simply would not play. Maybe it's
"normal" for this model, or perhaps there's another heat source under there. Hot air from somewhere. Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary.

Could the player be defective? Unlikely. It still plays ok ? Many in car dash units get quite hot in operation. The fact that a CD feels warm after ejecting simply reflects the ambient temperature inside the unit. A 'head unit' without internal amplifiers would likely stay cooler. Graham |
