CD Player Error Codes
When a disc problem or a system problem is detected within the CD player, one of three error codes may be displayed. This service bulletin gives descriptions, possible causes, and the action to take for each of these error codes.
ERROR CODE CDP-E0
The error code is displayed for fifteen seconds, then the disc ejects. Once the disc ejects, the radio returns to the mode it was in before the disc was inserted. Data on the disc is not being read by the CD player.
Error code CDP-E0 can be caused by any of these conditions:
^ The disc is dirty or scratched.
^ The disc was inserted upside down into the CD player.
^ The CD player has an internal problem.
To correct this error code, follow these guidelines:
^ Clean the disc with a clean soft cloth, wiping across from the center to the outside edge.
^ If the disc is scratched, substitute a known-good disc.
^ Make sure the disc is inserted correctly, with its label facing up.
^ If the error code CDP-E0 still appears, replace the radio/CD player.
Refer to Service Bulletin 87-015 for audio unit exchange or repair procedures.
ERROR CODE CDP-E1
While playing, the disc stops and the error code is displayed. The error code may also be set when attempting to load a disc. The radio and the cassette player operate normally.
Error code CDP-E1 can be caused by any of these conditions:
^ The disc is warped or deformed.
^ A new disc has small plastic burrs along its inner or outer edge.
^ The Load or Eject function of the CD player is malfunctioning.
^ The CD player has an internal problem.
To correct this error code, follow these guidelines:
^ Push the CD player's Eject button. If the disc ejects and the error code goes away, substitute a known-good disc and test its operation.
^ Remove small plastic burrs from a new disc by rubbing its inner and outer edges with a pencil or pen. Then, retry the disc.
^ If the disc ejects but the error code is still there, a mechanical problem exists. Replace the radio/CD player.
^ If the disc does not eject, do not try to force it out. Replace the radio/CD player. Fill out and attach a Tape or CD Return Label (reorder # E2094) on the defective unit. The vendor will remove the disc and return it to the customer.
Refer to Service Bulletin 87-015 for audio unit exchange or repair procedures.
ERROR CODE CDP-E2
The error code is displayed for fifteen seconds, then the disc ejects. Once the disc ejects, the radio returns to the mode it was in before the disc was inserted.
Error code CDP-E2 can be caused by either of these conditions:
^ The CD player stored a false error code.
^ The CD player has an internal problem.
To correct this error code, follow these guidelines:
^ Eject the disc, then reinsert it. It the disc plays normally, the radio/CD player is OK.
^ If the error code CDP-E2 reappears after the disc is reinserted, replace the radio/CD player.
NOTE:
Do not replace the radio/CD player unless the error code reappears.
