Kendwood KDC-X890 Won't Play CD's
Hey Gang,
Anyone have problems with their Kenwood not playing ANY cd's? Mine is brand new, just installed about 6 hours ago. It won't play CD-R or purchased CD's. According to the specs it should play damn near everything. Does anyone have a solution to this one? Could it be something with the wiring? All of the speakers are run through amps, so the only connection on the deck is the power/switched power/ ground/ and amp remote. BTW, it is installed in an 89 full size bronco. Thanks!! |

Does the radio work? If it does it should work just fine.
I have the 889, which is last years model of your deck and everything is awesome on it. I cant think of anything that would be wrong even. |

Yeah, the radio is fine. Eveything BUT the cd player works. As soon
as you load it, it flashes 'reading' then 'loading' then spits it back out. I went so far as to purchase a new CD to try with it and even that didn't work. I'm pretty frustrated with it. Is there some magic button you have to press on new units to get them to take CD's? It won't even read the demo disc that came with the unit! wrote: Does the radio work?

Update:
Tried cleaning the lens but no joy. I'll pull it out and look for a shipping screw this evening. Anyone else have any ideas? wrote: Hmmm...a shipping screw. Maybe, I didn't see that addressed in the users manual, and I didn't notice anything on the chasis (like a sticker or marking). I'll pull it out and have another look. When it says "Reading" that is only for a split second, it gives one blink then it flashes "Loading". I really doubt it is actually reading anything. I'm going to try a lens cleaner on it, I don't know why a new unit would have a dirty lens but it's worth a shot. I. Care wrote: In article .com, says... Yeah, the radio is fine.

I'm inclined to believe that if the unit says "reading" then "loading" it doesn't have a problem recognizing a CD has been put in. No other buttons should need to be pushed. Was there a shipping screw that had to be removed or loosened? Maybe the laser/pickup was locked in place for shipping? Otherwise it appears you have a bad CD player. -- I.
