You don't give your expertise level, but assuming you know how to unplug the
CLD59 from the wall and use an Ohm Meter:
Check D6 for a short. D6 is near the big diode bridge (D1). If it
measures near zero, clip one side and measure again to make sure that D6 was
shorted and that the board short is cleared. The Pioneer P/N for D6 on many
players is K1V24, but they will probably have a substitute on their parts
website now days. You can operate the player without the suppressor in the
circuit, but at the risk of damage (and death?) if hit by another surge.
The suppressor died while protecting the rest of the player from some surge
in the past.

Does anyone know the specifics for the D6 Diode so I can replace it?
I would prefer to pick it up at RadioShack or the local electronics
supply store if possible as Pioneer wants $22 for it.
Thanks!
