How does one go about getting a CD drive aligned?

That is a good question. If you see the pictures, one picture shows potentiometers on the side of the CD drive. I'd guess someone could determine the drive manufacturer and get information to go from there.

You take it to the GeekSquad at Bestbuy.  Just tell them you have a "Service Plan".  ;-)


No, in one of the pictures on the side of the cd drive you can see 4 plastic screw type adjustemnts.  You use those.

Here are instructions for aligning the CD drive on a CD32.  Might work for the CDTV or you can probably find specs for the drive.

Exactly my thoughts.

Just wondering, how did you play floppy games without keyboard or mouse? (Or did you just boot them)

I'm sure Red will answer, but remembering from my CDTV days, the wireless controller you see pictured there functions just like a joystick.  So he probably just used that.  That aside, I thought it has a keyboard port right there in the front right corner? There's a little cover that flips up and down I believe. (I think you can use a wireless keyboard as well)

Correct, the controller can function like a joystick.

Hi,
if the Laser Pickup get unaniligned, this means that it's dying.
As i can see, it looks like a Sony KSS 210 series or JVC optima 1 or 3.
Both are avaible at low price on the net.

@Red : can you tell us which information you can found on the laser pickup sticker ? (sometimes it's under..).
