@Patstachio I am still using all my carver gear which I purchased between 1988 - 1992 while in the serving in the Navy. Those were the good old days, plenty of disposible income to buy music equipment and cd's. -

After further review, I found it. The front cover says: Sonic Holography Demonstration - Calibration Test Disc Instructions for using the Carver CD - 4000 Sonic Holography Test Compact Disc

I remember listening to this cd back in the late 1980's. I think I eventually threw it away 😗

@Receiver2000 I could not remember at the time of my initial post but after looking on youtube and remembering back, the Carver receiver 2000 was the first piece of gear I owned. -

The "Beltectomy" was successful, the tray now opens and closes successfully but the display says "disk" when I try to play a cd. The guts and fix for the belt looks very much like this video: How to fix Carver DTL 50 cd player belts but despite the fix, I never heared the cd spin. Based on my research so far, it appears to be a dead motor, which is a common problem amongst all aged cd players. All in all, replacing the belts was pretty easy, especially if you take off several of the screws which hold down the belt wheels . -

My replacement belts arrived yesterday for my Carver DTL 50, so, I will be attempting to fix it today. It has been broken since the early 2000's. Does anyone have any tips for that? I've cleaned the area where the belts attach but unsure how easy it will be to work in such a small area since I have not been able to find any youtube videos for the complete task. I've seen the 45 second one which shows the belts spinning while the drawer opens and closes. -

You have quite the welcome crew on this site. I wasn't sure if I would get any flak about owning the Bose 901's, nice to see someone else owns some...although, I do wonder what speakers pair best with the Carver CT-7 and M 4.0T -

Walrus Gamboot - My user name I figured I would have some fun and try to be a little creative with my user name since this is a Carver site consisting of music enthusiasts. Walrus Gamboot is a line from the Beatles song, Come Together; I always thought John Lennon was singing..."He got Walrus Gumball," which I really like better as a user name but decided I should use the actual for acurracy. He bag production He got walrus gumboot He got Ono sideboard He one spinal cracker He got feet down below his knee Hold you in his armchair You can feel his disease Come together, right now Per Google “Gumboot” is the British word for long rubber rain boots. John has said that this is his gobbledegook putting words together as he was good at doing! (like for example I “I Am The Walrus”) -
