CDX2 drawer opened before disc had completely stopped

When I had a CDX2 I used to do this with pretty much every disc. I don't see how it can be a problem.

I noticed the other day that my better half has a tendancy to open the drawer of my CDX2 before the disc has completely stopped spinning.  Hopefully my reaction will stop this from happening again, however I was wondering if this could cause any long term damage to the CD player?

Sounds to me as if you're trying to settle an argument

Might be more likely to damage the CD.

I used to do this when I had a CDX2 and never had a problem. You are worrying unnecessarily. Perhaps it's time to apologise to your better half for over-reacting. 

When I had a CDX2 I occasionally opened the draw before the disc had stopped spinning.  It cannot do any harm;   the draw as an assembly is the base mount for the disc & laser drive & servo's & opening it just opens the whole as an assembly.       

With my CDX I often open the swing-out draw without pressing stop - does no harm at all.

OMG! Such sloppy behaviour. We are all  going to incur the wrath of Rotifer....

Pulling the draw out is another way of stopping it, if you weren't supposed to do it there would probably be an interlock to stop you or at the very least dire warnings in the manual.

Er - yes. Quite.  Finger trouble.  So sorry.

It won't do any harm as there's a magnetic micro-switch that's activated as soon as you pull open the drawer - however, the disc can often be spinning quite fast, so it's not recommended as if you catch the disc edge while it's still moving then you may damage either disc or mech.  Having said that, I used to do it all the time...

A friend's grandson did this on her CDX2, probably with more enthusiasm and abandon than anyone would who had actually paid the money for it. I suspect that he was also pulling the CD off without removing the puck first, but of course all was denied. But for whatever reason, twice in a couple of months the puck disappeared inside the machine.

I was called in to advise and I found that 1) taking the cover off a CDX2 is really non-trivial (ie involves major dismantling of the drawer mechanism) and 2) I didn't fancy doing that but was able to turn the whole thing carefully upside down and persuade the puck to come out on its own.

Anyway it's made me very nervous of doing anything hastily with mine!

Can't find it at the moment, but if I recall, the Bell curve on optic lens replacement is 9 years on the Cdx2.

My 2008 Cdx2, hit the curve exactly!

Just curious, Did Naim's Reference CDP, improve on the Bell Curve?

Allante93!

PS. After Audio Plus serviced, and replaced my optic lens, She doesn't miss a beat!

However, If the CD is in play mode, I stop and wait for nearly two seconds, before I gently open the manual draw! LOL....

The puck frequently disappeared within my CDX - only when there is no CD in the drawER but the puck is (was) in place when you shut the drawER a little too enthusiastically.  Which probably doesn't so it much good.

Beachcomber, that normally happens if the clamp is not quite square on the spindle platter, i.e. one edge is tipped up slightly and catches the edge of the opening as the drawer is closed. 

I bought my CD3 secondhand and noticed a rattling inside. When I opened it up I recovered four old clamps!

Put a sticker on your CD player:

'Beware: Swinging the door while spinning the disc might sling-in the room'

Well at last you've got a spare (or four).

You could, but nobody would understand it. 

Done this for best part of 16 years and I’ve yet to see the detriment.
