Question about Sony CDX-L420V CD Player

Volume, Display and FM stations missing?

I bought a second hand car that has this radio CD player. It worked really well for a while but suddenly has developed loads of problems. When I turn it on it comes on at full volume (I nearly crashed the car the first time this happened as I got such a shock!). I turned the sound down, but if you try to increase the sound it just jumps right up to full volume again. The second problem is that it no longer has 18 FM station tuner presets, but only 6, and all of my stored stations have been erased. Finally, the Display is not working either, the backlight still works but the text doesn't scroll across anymore. When I turn off the radio it makes a loud popping sound also. Could this be that the fuse has blown?

This could be a bad ground on the radio, or you have serious circuit problems. if a fuse blew, the radio would not work at all. Check the installation first, replace the radio seconds. Good Luck

the current station will be cleared and replaced with the new station.

• Press in the outer ring and rotate the Double Action encoder to the

left or right on the Preset screen, you can switch the Preset screen of

another band.

I just bought a new pioneer cd player and i put a cd inside and it plays it normally but suddenly it changes to radio stations it's very strange

That is the symptom of a faulty selector switch. That's causing automatically switch up from CD to tuner station. Replaced the selector switch with a new one, so ks normal again.

Good luck;

Ford 6000 eon radio unit - unit has no volume on fm stations, or occasionally the vlume comes on when first turned on and then fades after about 20 - 30 seconds. It finds stations on automatic search but...

Alas

This is a very common fault with these units, repair is a little expensive, as it's the FM tuner unit. It's an ebay job I'm afraid, pay around £45 for a second hand 6000 with code.

sony receiver will not recognize cd player I have a 7 yr old sony ten disk cd changer and a sony reciever. Last weekend the receiver stopped recognizing the CD changer. The reciever cycles thourgh the radio bands, but the source button can not change to the CD function. The fuse is good, there is plenty of power to the set. The cd changer is locked. Do you think it is corrosion on the cable connectors? They are so small I can not see , how can I clean up any oxidation?
