CD Changer Hi, I think the cd changer has broken. It gets stuck and the tray wont come out. It just makes a lot of noise and doesnt function. Is there a way to repair or replace the cd changer part? the rest of the system works fine but so would like to repair the problem

If your Emerson 6-disc CD changer's door is not opening and it's making a funny noise, there could be a few possible causes:
1. Mechanical issue: There could be a mechanical problem with the CD changer's door mechanism. It's possible that a part has worn out, become loose or broken, preventing the door from opening. The funny noise could also indicate that something is stuck or jammed.
2. Electrical issue: It's possible that there is an electrical problem with the CD changer. There could be a faulty connection, or an issue with the motor that drives the door mechanism.
3. Dirty or dusty: It's also possible that the CD changer's door mechanism is dirty or dusty. Over time, dust and debris can build up inside the changer, making it harder for the door to open and close.
To fix the problem, try these steps:
1. Unplug the CD changer from the power outlet and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in. Sometimes, this can reset the CD changer and fix any software issues.
2. Try manually opening the CD changer door. Look for a small hole or slot near the CD changer door. Insert a paper clip or a similar object into the hole and gently press down. This should release the door lock and allow you to manually open the door.
3. If the CD changer door opens, check for any CDs that may be stuck or jammed. Carefully remove any obstructions and try again.
4. If the CD changer door still does not open, there may be a mechanical or electrical issue. In this case, it's best to take the CD changer to a qualified repair technician or contact Emerson customer support for assistance.
Remember to always exercise caution when attempting to repair electronic devices. If you are unsure about how to proceed, seek the help of a qualified professional.

it should be ok make it count cgs up and down should reset the spindle if not the worm gear is shreded

The problem is in the loading bay, sometimes 2 CD's will get jammed locking up the system, or the timing gear is out of sync, or possible broken gears.

open it up
the tray has somthing stuck init

if you push the eject cd magazine button on the changer does it sound like it's trying to eject it? if it doesn't you'll need to replace the changer. if it does, then you've got a stuck cd magazine tray. it sounds weird, but when i was working on land rovers this happened all the time on the full size range rovers. what we did was push the magazine eject button on the changer to eject the cd magazine and sort of slap the changer around a bit. 90% of the time it worked. the other times, we'd go in with a 90 degree pick and try to push the stuck cd tray back into the magazine (while it was still in the changer) while pushing the eject magazine button on the changer. and you'll need to replace the cd magazine. if it happens again, you'll need to replace the entire changer.

After some time it was showing some C 31 00 error. I searched on internet, opened the top cover, there is the CD changer and my cd was stuck in there, I pushed the CD from finger and there it goes... on press of eject it came out... thanks anyway...

hi i heared about you cd changer problem. i have a same hi-fi system an i have the same problem. it seems it appears when you hit.move or turn upside down the cd changer. you can solve it by unscrewing the top of the hi-fi with a regullar screw there should be 5 screws on the back and 4 on the sideways after this take the top off by pulling it upwards then you should plug in the hi-fi at the outlet and try to change the cd if it doesn't work try seeing if any of the cd is stuck in there if it is try to push it with your fingers but watch your fingers and do not touch any metallic part if in doesnt work like this eithertray looking if the cd-reader is stuck in any way......try to free it with your fingers but watch your fingers too if it doesnt work try to contact me at :[email protected] il help you with any sound-sistem problem :D ;)

Hi , seen lots of these.
whats happend is the Tray that the disc sits in has jammed halfway in.
in most cases giving the mag a swift tap (hard tap) with the haddle of a screw driver , while pushing the eject button normally is just enough to dislodge the mag.

otherwise its a repair job.

were do you live Alison?

first try to get another display, maybe it's broken (could be the cable cutted), the changer with a motor noise in the moment you plug it, tell me that its ok (95%).
