CD player does not play discs

Yes is will. You need to attach the MP3 to one of the inputs and select that input to play it. A burned CD should work just fine.

test the remote look at it in camera can u see it blinking

the problem is not the laser, but the cable that connects the laser to cd board, it is cracked..and will break connection when moved out from its home position, i have replaced a lot of cabes for this model..i know it well

Few things either cd,s are not compatible

laser has died or laser ribbon cable is broken

Have the same problem. Had friend, electronic tech look at it. Pickup assembly failure. Use Partstore.com or Pioneer to find part and then cross reference with other models that use same part. I bought used item on Ebay, $40 to repair my unit. Simple 5 screws, two pug in cables. Be sure to discharge static electricity from body before touching interior parts. Up and running in 20 min,

Sound like laser assy defected in any case you need a Technician from Pioneer or they are trained by Pioneer is very complicated to remove the laser and replace it you need an osilloscope to aligment a new laser and special disc to do that. It might not worth to repair it, the laser itself a bout $110.00 Aus

MOST LIKELY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR THAT SPINS THE DISC - NEEDS REPLACING

The Pioneer component 6 CD magazine changers only play normal store bought CDs, not CDs you make yourself.
sorry.

turn the cd, the silver side must be look down
