Audiophile Difficulty

**DEFYANT** · 07-03-2010, 07:47 AM

I've had a few Audiophile 6L8T-18C815-FD now. They install fine, power up and play fine except the CD player would not load. It feels as if there is something blocking the disc. This as happen more than two now and am beginning to think I am missing an important step in the installation process.

Thanks

There maybe a disk stuck in there. Shouldn't be anything else to do other than connect it up.

Might want to search the internet to see if there is a procedure to manually eject a disk.

Just a shot in the dark here. Try holding the eject button while turning on the car or radio.

I found that loading and unloading with "power off" works better than with unit powered.
I had the same difficulty with mine when I first started and tried to load while radio was playing.
Does your unit show a disc in any of the six slots?

Nope, nothing stuck in there. I have already sent the last radio back to the seller, so I can not try the fix suggestion.

See above.

I will try your suggestions on the next radio that comes in. Thanks guys.

Don't you have to hit a load button for each slot?

I know on my friends 2007 Mountainier you have to use a load button to get the CD's in the 6 disk changer.

I think we have a winner.

I never had to push a "Load" button on any CD player before...

Thanks, I'll report back when the exchange shows up.

Yes - you have to press the load button. Then it will prompt you to choose which slot to use unless there is only one slot available.

My diagnosis is a loose nut behind the head unit.

Also when installing, do not push down on the top of the unit imediately behind the face, center. This is a VERY weak place on the unit and directly under it contains the door mechanisms. This is what was wrong with mine, very easy fix.

Hey guys, received my 6 CD Audiophile this past week and installed it in the car. Great sound, but had the same problem as the OP with a jammed CD. Loaded the first one and tried it out; sounded great. Then tried to load additional CDs, but ended up with error messages. Can't get any of the other slots to load and on top of it, the #1 slot won't eject; actually get a message "no CD" when I try to access it.

Downloaded http://www.autodealertools.com/quick...007/Escape.pdf

but don't see any troubleshooting tips.

Contacted my seller, he doesnt; have any replacement units, but will refund my money. Would actually rather fix the unit (not to mention get my CD back).

Any suggestions on a fix?

**DEFYANT** · 11-26-2010, 05:31 PM

Sorry for your troubles. I never did get another unit.
