CD Changer Problem
07. Sep 2008 at 13:57

Hi guys, this is my first post here!
I bought my Omega V6 Elite yesterday and checked everything worked and it did until i came to put some cd's in the changer. I put the cartridge in the changer and normally you would hear like a whirring sort of telling you its working. Well I didn't hear anything and when i pressed CD on the radio it says "No disc". Now I can't eject my cartridge, its like there is no power to the changer. Any ideas???

The changer (whatever the version) is not compatable with CDR/RW discs and the varying thicknesses of them may cause the unit to jam and show NO DISC. If you only bought the car yesterday, have you asked the previous owner how he got around the problem?

Sep 2008 at 10:06 The previous owner said it was tempremental getting the cartridge out but if you persevere it will come out. He said it worked ok as far as I'm aware. It's just strange it doesn't even make a noise when you put the cartridge in. It's the CCRT 700 model radio by the way. Any ideas how I can get the acrtidge out now???

Sep 2008 at 09:00 Be carefull to get the correct changer - there are several versions of CDC2 and not all are cross compatable. Have a look on the label on yours and there will be a 10 digit part number starting with a 7 7 ??? ??? ??? It is important to only obtain a changer with the same part number.
