Sony D822-K Car Discman Teardown
Introduction

I'm going to dissect an old friend, my first disc player. It is hoped that this teardown, while exposing the hydro-suspension and green-amber lighting, will reveal an awesomeness worthy of a Sony PS3 Slim (Gadget Lab Contest).

Teardown
Obtain a D822-K Discman and remote. True, it has DSP and Surround Sound, but the 90's have come and gone. It's okay to take it apart.
Step 2
Position unit so that the bottom is facing up. Remove the 6 screws.
Hold top and bottom of unit together as you turn the unit over, bottom facing down. Use caution; the upper and lower case, along with circuit board are now loose.
Watch out for the AVLS and illumination switches, they love to disappear when unsupervised. Remove top of case.
Step 3
Removing the CD reader: Gently pull all 3 rubber grommets sideways, away from the CD reader.
Slide edge of ribbon cable connector towards ribbon cable to disengage.
Unplug the red, white, and blue plugs from the circuit board.
Step 4
Observation: This is the Hydro Suspension system...really.
Step 5
Remove circuit board
Notice the dual-color light modules. (I temporarily connected the power to show off the lights)
Step 6
Disconnect tailpiece, and power supply.
Step 7
Remote: Remove the 3 screws from the bottom. Pull apart.
The function buttons have a neat overlay design.
Step 8
Completely disassembled. The illumination button was lost for two weeks after reassembling... but who uses amber lights anymore?

My gosh until now I totally forgot about this player, I had the exact same one for years !
Wow - this was my first player, too. Expensive little thing... I forgot about the luminance until you mentioned it - I loved the green.
It was expensive, wasn't it? I was expecting a little more sophistication in the suspension for the price.
Oh, last week I found that missing illumination switch. When I put in, I'll try to fix the whining sound from the headphone output.
