Cd won't eject, Panasonic cq-c8300u, makes buzzing sound, door won't tilt open. thanks!

I can manually, gently, force open tilt, but cd will not eject. I live in car, so this is sort of important. Not worst problem in world, though.

We regret to inform you this model would need repair. We recommend you use the below link to locate an authorized service center.

www.panasonic.com/repair

Testimonial: "Thanks to all posters. I checked manual - did "forced eject" (held eject for 4 or more seconds after manually nudging open and holding open the tilt door) - cd ejected! But tilt still doesn't work on its own. When I power off, "ADJUST" appears in window. Don't see that in manual. I might check out best buy (I know too many people they've ripped off) - see what the repair cost range is. The system is really nice - has more options than I'll use in this lifetime. Heh. By the way, CD is Ink Spots - and I happen to have two of them (bought a 2nd one - yeah, at best buy - after I couldn't find the 1st one years ago). Don't know if I should experiment with another CD; but, apparently, the unit is not hopeless. Thanks, again."

SOURCE: How to remove Panasonic cq-c1301u unit from car

This is an interesting question. As to the fact that you didn't mention what kind of car you have, I can't give you exact instructions, but I can give you approximate instructions. Read all Instructions b4 you do anything and detach battery b4 working on system!!!!!!
1. Most car's require you to remove a dashboard panel, of not the whole thing. (on a side note, the panel on my jeep that has to be removed just pops out).
2. Next you need to unscrew the adapter kit from the car. A lot of older cars put Double DIN headunits into their cars, These are the larger sized headunits. Most after-market systems require a plastic adapter to allow them to fit into the larger space. As long as your new unit is the same size as the older unit, this piece can be reused.
3. Then you must remove the old headunit from the adapter. Most are either screwed in or have pressure pins that hold it in place. Either unscrew or carefully push down the pressure pins until you can remove the old headunit.
4. If you have already purchased the wiring kit, if necessary, then continue onto next step, otherwise purchase appropriate wiring kit for your headunit and car. Do not open wiring kit until you are ready to hook up your new headunit!!!!
5. Find new wiring kit, detach old wiring kit, and hook up new wiring kit according to included instructions. For best reliability, I recommend using wire nuts as electrical tape isn't as relaible and can come apart after a while. If you need to save space and can't use wire nuts, I recommend liquid electrical tape. Let this dry before you go any further.
6. Attach new headunit to adapter and then attach wiring kit to back of the headunit. Make sure to attach radio cord to back of headunit. Push adapter and headunit back into place, adjusting wires as necessary. Screw adapter back into place.
7. Re-attach dash panel back to car, reattaching screws where and if necessary and reattach battery. Power up car and test system.
8. Listen away.

If you cannot get this to work, most places like Best Buys and Circuit City have professionals that have the necessary parts and expertise to exchange headunits in cars and can do this for a small fee. Just replacing a headunit should be relatively cheep. Adding other components as well would be more expensive.

The heat is normal due to the large output IC's Panasonic uses. You need to get a "Laser Lens Cleaner" one that uses fluid. You can find them at just about any retail store these days for 15-20. Run it thru a couple times and hope that's the magic bullet to fix the issue, otherwise it needs service at a cost of 100-150 on average. If the cleaner does the trick, make it a habbit of cleaning your player every 3mos or 3000 mi. It truly is the best preventative maintanance on any CD/DVD/PC etc.! Hope this helps

Cd won`t come out when i push eject button.

Hello,

If you dont have a cd inside the player, Then use a spare cd and cover it up with a thin,soft and clean cotton cloth and move it back and forth in the cd player.This problem occurs when the ejctors get dirty.Make sure the the player is in the OFF position when you do this.If you have a cd insde then you will need to eject it by force using a vey thin screw driver and prying the cd to make it eject.

Thankyou,

Cd door will not open

same thing happened to me. turn the system off, unplug it. then back on and after you switch to CD mode (for some reason the CD tray will not eject unless in CD mode), once the system tries to lock on to a specific CD tray, hold the eject button down for 5 seconds. that worked for me. may have been dumb luck but can't hurt.
