Not reading MP3 cds

Hi guys. I've got problems with JVC KD-G501 car receiver.
It worked good for a long while (two years). Now it's giving me problems with mp3 cds.
When I insert a mp3 cd it displays "Play" for a long time, then it passes to the "Check" step and then it displays "Please Eject".
The receiver still works fine with normal cd (cda) but it gives this problem with every mp3 cd even the ones that worked well just a couple of months ago (so I assume it's not a problem related to laser or cd device).
Which could be the problem? I've tried resetting it too (with the frontal button) but it seems not to work (the red light turns on when I release the reset button but it keeps storing all settings - preset radio station in example).
Can I do something or do I need a new cd receiver? :(
Thanks.

    I tried to reset the receiver by removing the fuse but it didn't work (it still keeps all settings). But I've reinstalled it suddenly. I'll try to remove it for some minutes.
    Thanks for the help, I'll make you know ;)

Have you tried removing the negative terminal from your car battery and giving it a few minutes. Hook the terminal back up and try your cd player again? That should be the same as resetting your cd player settings.

Sounds like you have a problem with the mp3 format being used.

KD-HDR40 will not play any CDs, only displays a "CD reading" message.

Sounds like CD mechanism failure. Did some sticker or anything went inside? Any way, need service.

Will not play cds

Hi.

If it does not read any disk, then the most common fault is lens problem.

You can read an article on the matter using the link below. It also applies to your in-car JVC system: My player does not read disks.

Unable to play MP3 CDs on JVC KD-G140

I had this same problem and realized after reading the manual that this model does not play mp3's. They use the same manual for the g140 and the g240 (the model which plays mp3s).
