CD changer goes in and out on its own. Then it stays out.

What you hear running may be a fan, a motor that spins the CD, the motor that moves the head in & out, or the motor that turns the turntable.
I suspect on something that old, the motor that spins the CD may be worn out. Place 1 CD in position and make note of the exact position of the words on the CD, let the player go through all 5 positions and see if the CD is still in the exact position that it was when you started. If this is the problem there's usually no easy way to fix it.
If the turntable doesn't turn, then it's that motor or a possibly a belt that no longer works.

There is also the possibility that the read head is no longer moving in and out smoothly, you'll have to take the unit apart and re-grease the slides with light lithium grease.

The read head being dirty or too dusty is another possibility, but even less likely. When you get it apart, clean the read head with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol, anything harsher might damage the components.

Get a new motor for it, It,s that simple,DAAAAAAA.

you need the service manual

The fault is actually inside the CD changer, when one disc is selected the changer moves the gearing inside to slot from one CD to the other.
While this operation is happening the selection arm jams !!
Then giving an error at the radio display..

To fix the problem, disconnect the CD changer from the trunk of the car,
take off the top plastic slide cover,
with a small screwdriver slowly move the gearing so that the CD disc holder will move back to the load - unload position.

Pop out the CD holder.

Replace unit, reconnect the optic and power lead, switch on radio and the unit will work again,

grease the moving parts with light lubricant

Good Luck

Disconnect the power for 3 minutes and then connected again if you still acting the same way does mean to see the changes Is broken

I do not have any experience on your type of hifi but i reckon dest error refers to "Destination error" the 3 disc changer has a default home position of the disc carousel that it goes to when first starting up. I would suggest that somthing is preventing the cd mechanism from getting there to it's home when it starts up. This could be from a cd or foreign object jam, broken motor( or worn motor) broken or dirty sensor that detects where the mechanism is or broken cable connecting the two.
The key to finding this out after you fix the jam, would be to note if the mechansism is travelling, whether it sounds forced or if it's not moving at all. this will tell you whether it's motor or sensor related.
As I said I don't have any experience on this one, perhaps someone more qualified could comment...
Good Luck!

You need to tune to the same FM frequency selected on the RFmodulator box e.g 87.5 MHz to listen to whatever is playing. Good luck. Do you know a website to down load the mannual?

even if the laser lense cant process the data being read it should not eject and just display disc error or no disc. That's how it normally does. anyway if is is different from yours, try cleaning the laser lense with cotton bud, dampen a bit with rubbing alcohol, then the other end to dry it. rub it in circular motion please and not too hard or excesiove force on it.

lubricate the spindle motor shaft if you can reach, not too much oil, the very thin type household use only. likewise the traverse mech. the mech is not the source of your problem but since you are lubricating the spindle motor then you might as well lubricate the rest of moving parts. try not to put oil in you platine table and other rotating parts like the rubber belts or you'll find another problem later.
