I thought that I had the same problem. I then discovered that when I put 3 CD's in it started up on it's own. If you push the demo button you can see how it's supposed to light up the number of tracks in a square on the right of the display. It wasn't doing that until I put in all 3. Then it started up and I was able to use the disc 1, 2 & 3 buttons to change from 1 CD to the next and I used the Up and Down buttons to change songs and the play button above the tape deck is multi-functional. Hope this helps.

I have the same audio system, and when I put a CD in and I press the "CD" button in front of the system (the last of "TAPE" "TUNER" "AUX" "CD" buttons), the CD is playing by itself....

Sometimes my system won't start cd play correctly and there are times wehn the cd alyer won't open. However, I think that it's a good product because I've had this player for 3 years and these things just started happening.
