Re: Durabrand 6 CD shelf system -- what does no rdy mean?

Try unplugging the unit for 30 minutes, see if it will reset.

Hello, this kind of repair requires certain skils and knowledge about the cd changer mechanism. Please claim for an in warranty repair or replacement of the system. If you need more info please advice. Arpi

If the indication says" not ready " it means that the disc is not reading the data present on it . It is possible that the disc is not scanned by the optical head to be ready to play.
So it is possible that the optical head is defective or weak, please try to clean the optical eye with ear bud very softly or use a disc cleaner.
If there is no result the head can be faulty.
If the set was not used for long time please keep it powered ON.
Also the processing section/main board can be a suspect.

I've been having similar problems. I've had mine over 4 years, so it is likely on its last leg. To resolve, nothing techno here, I take both hand an simultaneously give the entire unit a good "bang" on both sides. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts, but so far it has been working. I'm already on the look out for a new system, as i know this probably won't work forever.

make sure you have a cd and your tray spins when opened

Here's where the owners manual can be found

This one does not have a clock function. It doesn't show anything in the manual about setting the clock and ours never had the time on it.
