20 Most Recent Fisher SLIM-1500 CD Shelf System Questions & Answers

RTM. Read the manual. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000051973.pdf

Yes You can , but remember that those speakers are fitted with this amplifier , so if You change them with bigger You may overload the amplifier , and if they are smaller they will burn.Read the sticker from the back side of the speakers and replace them with similar on power & impendance .

The best I can suggest you do is visit the Fisher website to see if you can get the user manual. Many have sites have free PDF's of them. If you can't find it send them an e-mail asking for the manual or where you can get one. That should tell how it operates and what the power cord should be. But I would be surprised if it works OK.

Check to make sure there is no short in the speaker wires. It is more than likely intermittent part or bad solder joints are responsible for the shutdown.

If the unit is completely dead, open fuse, or power transformer with a built in thermal fuse instead of the regular. If there is partial power the problem most likely is a bad audio output ic.

Hi,
For Fisher SLIM 1500SL model, I figured it out as below.
1/-Plug into AC & you will see Standby ON with AM 12:00.
2/-Press Timer button & you will see TIMER at left top corner.
3/-Press and hold Standby button until entire screen is ON & Standby goes OFF. Everything will go from here- play CD, radio, etc.
Goodluck.

you have to change from the menu from radio to cd ..player..and after that make the settings ..also ..pay attention that this unit do not plays mp3 cd'es but just original ones or music tracks burned with windows media player ..(specified to play in all cd players..) there are no more than 18 files on a cd..

I have the same problem and called Sanyo at the phone number in the manual. The parts supplier they forwarded me to said that the power cord was discontinued and there is no replacement :-(

Try any flea market or Radio shack. You should be able to find a similar cord on a different radio

Besides trying a cleaning disc to see if the optical will get cleaned, and make sure the discs are also free of smudges, I am afraid you'll need to take it in for inspection, the usual problem with the disc players is that after a while the efficiency of the optical device begins to diminish, another common problem is the spindle motor, it begins to loose rpm and the driver circuit can not compensate for this loss untill it just does not spin enough to where the optical unit does not detect the disc.

1.press mode to show what you want to edit 2. press memory to start edit mode 3. press tunner's +/- buttons

Found the manual on another website... try http://rapidshare.com/files/231957062/SLIM1500_OM_.pdf

the motor will need to be replaced

I would suggest that you go to your local electrical store like Dick Smith they have a good range of power cables...

But you really should take the Fisher Slim-1500 into the shop with you to make sure that the cable connects correctly...and is not modified in any way...

Hi There Briank36,
Most electronic devices now days rely on a small "battery" device inside to retain the memory settings that you set the system to.
This memory device can be a small battery or a capacitor, which is kept charged by the power supply during its on time.
When you turn the System off the memory device keeps the settings you like for the next time you turn the system on.
During this Off time the memory device is slowly discharged.
So as you say the system is now 5-6 years old so I suggest that the memory device needs to be replaced for a new one...
as it now cant kep the memory settings for as long as it used to...
I dont know the actual electronic configuration of your particular system but this would be the first item to replace..

Its only a few dollars in cost to have done.

cheers from YUBEUT.
