The changer indicates "off" and "checking discs" but will neither play nor receive instructions nor can i switch it off.
Most likely the CD drive mechanism isn't scanning from one side to the other. This the initialization process for the player. 1st thing to check is the little rubber motor belt that drives the mechanism up and down the rails. If its not moving then your exact condition will exist.
Check to make sure the white plastic door carriages have not come off their spindle (mine was the right hand one) it was preventing the disc from going all the way right (and i beleive a "door closed" micro switch as it still didnt work with the peice removed and aligned to the proper gear tooth when replaced)
CD stuck in player.
Unplug.
Remove lid, small black screws on side and along the top of the back.
Fiddle with latch on left side near front that controls the door.
Once latch is released, open door and remove all CD's.
Make sure 2 CD's are not **** in player.
Move CD cage carefully. It should run smoothly along. If not it is locked in 'switched off mode' or CD is stuck half in and half out. If CD stuck fish CD out carefully.
Plug back in without any CD's in.
System should run back and forward and then lock at left hand end.
Put lid on and try one CD in one slot.
I have the same problem but there is no CD stuck. The player keeps checking for discs and when I hit the power button, it says "off" but it is still lit and cannot be turned back on unless I unplug and start again. But it still keeps "checking for discs" . Every once in a while it will work, but rarely
