Please help, CD player quit working.

[Paul]

The OEM CD player in the trunk of the car stopped working yesterday. I am not sure exactly how it happened but I went to listen to my CD player and switched from the radio to the CD payer. The display on the radio then displayed an error code. It said “cdE-01”. I have searched the forums and found that someone had an error code that said “cdE-02”. The fix to their problem was to remove a jammed disk. I removed my CD player from the trunk and took a look at it. Sure enough disk 6 was all the way in and at the same time it looks like it tried to load disk 5. Disk 5 was only partially loaded. I was able to remove disk 6 and figured that once I hooked everything back up that it would load disk 5 and everything would be fine. I have reinstalled the CD player and nothing happens. It does not do anything? Its like its not getting power but yet all other radio components work. I am wondering if “cdE-01” means something different than “cdE-02”?

Does anyone have any ideas? Has this happened to anyone before?

Thanks for your help,
Paul

I don't recall whether mine was E2, or E1, but after they cleared it, the same thing happened, and thus they ordered a new CD player, haven't had the problem since. Also, they told me that I wasn't the first person to have the problem with a new car/cd player, sooooooo

...I am wondering if “cdE-01” means something different than “cdE-02”?

cdE-01 definitely means something different than cdE-02. If I recall correctly, description of the error codes as they relate to the CD Changer are provided in the NSX owner's manual. Mine is not handy otherwise I would have looked it up. Have you checked yours?

Regards.

I'm wondering

Is there a small, pin sized reset button housed somewhere behind the shuttle door? Alpine changers do. When discs got lodged inside the changer's magazine, it was because the disc loader's servo, that moves discs from the magazine to the 'player position' was stuck in it's 'half way there' position. Reseting the changer returned the disc loader servo back to 'home' position, and it would start working again. If it works out, easy fix, more power to you~ C.H.

sorry, one last thing~

If you find a reset button behind the shuttle door, excellent~ But, make sure you only have one CD in your magazine at the time, position one is easiest~ This way, when your changer goes through it's reset process, and tries to populate the changer table logic, it wont have any contenders to deal with, just one disc....C.H.
