How to release magazine
Just to update that my husband took it off again and on closer inspection, found that one of the sleeves in the CD Cassette was half in/out.
So he turned the gears and got it in, then put it all back and hey presto, it works! Thank you all! |

Mine sticks that often I've not bothered bolting it back in. Initially I was very careful about removing the workings from the casing, lubricating moving parts, reassembling etc but now I just unplug it, hit it with a shoe, and plug back in. Voila!

An old thread that I found useful
Recently renewed my subscription and feel it's already paid for itself.
Have a working cd changer (and a better understanding of how it works) for the times I'm not able to get radio reception. Surprised how good the fifteen year old symphony unit and alpine cd changer are. If I hadn't been able to fix the cd changer was considering consulting members about a way to connect an mp3 player to the symphony unit and putting my music on sd card or usb stick. |

Just fixed the CDC on my recent V6. The "grease" had gone solid through no use, so applied some watchmakers oil with a cotton bud to all moving parts, moved the gearwheels throught the full range and plugged it back in. Yes! It works again! Thanks for the threads folks, much appreciated. Mike

I'd like to add my thanks - very useful thread. Of course, I wasn't ready for the bloomin' CD player to burst into life playing my dear Father's favourite songs was I? Ha! Very cathartic - did me good.

I've been told that careful use of a hairdryer through the front, sometimes frees the compacted grease. Be careful though - at your own risk!

Ha! Interesting thought!
I'm keeping the unit out on the floor for a day or two and keeping an eye on it. I suspect everyone already knows, but the load process is interesting - the unit loads all 6 slots in order to check them, then loads disc 1 and waits, from what I've seen... Then, when you switch away from it, it leaves the CD in place, ready to restart. I think when I'm leaving the car for a while I'll be taking the cartridge out... that might help alleviate the problems...
