A cd has gotten stuck in my Sony 5 cd/dvd carousel player. Appears that the label on the CD had gotten soft (sticky) and when the carousel rotates it stays stuck underneth the top while the carousel moves beneath it. Any suggestions how to get this out?

If your Sony CDP-CX355 CD player keeps moving the carousel back and forth without completing a full rotation, it could indicate a mechanical issue. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Power cycle: Turn off the CD player, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. Sometimes, a power cycle can resolve temporary glitches.
2. Reset the player: Look for a reset button or option on the CD player. This could involve pressing a specific combination of buttons or using a small reset pinhole. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.
3. Check for obstructions: Inspect the carousel and the area around it for any obstructions. Remove any CDs or debris that may be blocking the movement of the carousel. Ensure that there are no loose parts or foreign objects interfering with the operation.
4. Clean the player: Dust and dirt can affect the performance of the CD player. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the surface of the player, including the carousel and any accessible internal components. Be cautious not to apply excessive force or use liquids that could damage the player.
5. Lubricate the carousel mechanism: Over time, the carousel mechanism may become stiff or dry, causing issues with rotation. Applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the carousel can help improve its movement. Use a lubricant specifically designed for electronic components and follow the instructions provided.

I had the same problem with our 5-CD Sony carousel player CDP-C535 (manufactured Nov 1993). I removed the top metal cover, and loaded five audio CDs into the carousel. After I closed the table, I pressed the carousel tight so that it stayed close, and hit the play button. The CD player tried to push the carousel out with quite a force. I needed to warp me fingers around the front panel to keep the carousel closed. After a few cycles of forcing the carousel to remain close, and caused two separate strong "clucks" from the gear area, the CD carousel became operational again. The diagnosis of gear problem seems right.

Broken gears. The current replacement 5 disc is a CD/DVD player and sells for $129.00 at Sony or any other Sony retailer. The cost to have a service center even estimate the repair would be more than 50% of the replacement cost. Hope this helps

Hi there.

There could be a couple of reasons. I doubt very much that it is due to the lens. First thought is that it is probably the locking mechanism. If you look at the cd loading mechanism, there is a small plate with a locking tab that moves into place to hold the carousel still when the unit is loading a cd. This plate slides along the bottom of the unit between the cd loader and the carousel.

Secondly, it could be that the carousel is jammed on the rotating platter that it moves on. A couple of screws and it should come out - be carefull not to bend anything!

Thirdly, check the stepper motor that turns it - but I doubt this is the problem either as you said you couldn't turn it by hand either. You will need to remove the carousel to do this.

Good Luck !

Hi,

It sounds like there is a cd tray alignment problem, there is no quick fix, all i could suggest is to send it to us or take it to your nearest dealer.

Regards.
