Cds will not open - Panasonic SC-PM31 Shelf System

The changer is fubar and repair is not cost effective.

most of the panels are tight to pull open,give it a harder pull,or some have a little release button

Interestingly, when the drive is getting old, it can read/read CDs but not DVDs. Your case is exceptional. It more looks like a software problem as well as the type of CDs you are using. Most drives prefer using CDs with a label "CD-R" but not "CD+R". Try checking on the type you are using.

Try Resetting the autorun software for the CDs as well by:
1) Right click on CD drive in my computer
2) Click on properties
3) Choose the Autorun tab
4) Choose the "prompt me each time to choose an action" option.

Inform me if it works

Remove the cover lid and look inside for anything jamming disk tray, problem may be very simple once you look at this. change out some of the cds.

sounds like the tray inside was misaligned when the cd went in. and it probally sent the disc into a occupied slot. you will have to remove radio and disassemble to repair. also try just unpluging radio and plug back in. sometimes it resets the radio and will start ejecting the cds

Yes without doubt. If alcohol hasnt fixed it try a little liquid detergent. otherwise you may want to copy the CD's onto new disks and keep the problem ones as backups

If you don't wanna send it for service, open the chassis of the player and free the CDs from the tray. Its highly likely that the CDs came off the trays and got stuck inside.

The best solution is to open the case and manually remove/realign the jammed cd.

that's a printer settings issue...when you open the print dialogue..go to print preferences, and make sure you are selecting the printer, and NOT print to file

Sounds like it has lost its power supply. Check the connection is fitted properly both behind the radio and at the changer end.
