CDI350 looks fine, but CD-I discs don't play
CDI350 looks fine, but CD-I discs don't play
I found my CDI350 back after years. I tried to start it with several cd-i discs, but only the start-up screen with the following text is shown: "Philips compact disc interactive" below that " settings dim memory" on a background with discs. I can choose from these options, but no CD-I disc will play. Help is appreciated, anyone ?

Hi Richard, sorry I didn't get the chance to email you back, that's my fault. The problem you describe can be about various things, but I have little experience with the portable CD-i players. I would guess the battery is empty, as is the main problem with failing CD-i players lately. What kind of battery the 350 has, I'm not sure...

the same one as the earlier players (cdi-210/20 or cdi-220/20 players).What kind of battery the 350 has, I'm not sure...
They all use the same timekeeper module (later versions have a bit more memory I believe).
The early CDI-350 and cdi-360 players are very similar to the big player of the time. They even use the same DVC !
So they could best be described as a big cdi-220 put in a very small box.
