I have a Yamaha cd player model CDC 745 that the belt that opens the drawer has streched and will not open the drawer. Where can I find a replacement belt.

How old is the DVD player? I have a Yamaha 5-disk player and the rubber drive belt that wraps around the drawer motor and connected to the pulley for the drawer was stretched out and useless. Just bought a new one online and voila!

Part Number VQ776900. I got it online for 99 cents but other places can be up to 7-8.00 dollars. I removed 5 screws on the sides and rear of the case. Took case off. Press the open button and help the drawer open with your hand while the motor tries to. Then remove old belt with pliers or paper clip, etc.
I did not take anything apart on the inside to replace the belt. Push the belt into the player over the larger wheel and then I pulled the belt with a paper clip over the smaller drive wheel.

Here are links for replacements from UK or USA suppliers.

Hello

There are two possiblities for this fault. The first one is, loading belt broken, or loose. The second one is, loading motor fails to rotate. it may be due to voltage related problem, that is, no voltage comes to it from the circuit board, or it has failed to rotate due to some internal fault itself.
You just open and inspect for these troubles Ok.

Any decent repair shop should have a large supply of replacement belts. The Part number isn't necessary. Just take the old one in and get a new one just 2mm smaller than the original. Some repair shops won;t sell them because they don't want you repairing your own property but a decent shop should sell you one.

It's the belt inside the machine - open tray and look in front left side and you will see it. Easy to change out with new one.

Jusy had the same problem. The player worked fine until one day I went to use it and the tray would not open. The belt had streched and was too loose. Since the player is quite old finding a replacement belt was next to impossible. So I went to the local hardware store and bought a Danco #56 rubber O ring (Stock# 35770B, 1 1/2 O.D. x 1 3/8 I.D.) I replaced the belt with the O ring and it works perfectly. The original belt is a V belt but the O ring seems just fine. Important that you do not get one any smaller because it may stress the motor drive shaft and bend it.

the belt may be streched so you may need to get a new belt.

The drawer belt may also lift the laser up to meet the CD . If the belt is bad , the CD player will kick out the CD.
Change the belt.
