I have a power acoustik PCD-42 CD player. It will not load a cd and the mode button doesn't have cd option. Can u reset?

Possible security issue. Check owners manual. If aftermarket player, some had a small hole on front panel with a reset button. Check player manual. Possible digital lockup, pull fuse so unit is dead for a minute, reinstall fuse and try unit. Did you try loading a cd?

RESET YOUR PLAYER AT DEFAULT SETTINGS. SWITCH IT OFF. SWITCH IT ON AND INSERT CD. GIVE THE PLAYER TIME TO READ. DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS TILL IT COMPLETE IT'S READING. IT WILL PLAY THE CD.

ALSO CHECK CD'S ARE BRANDED AND NOT COPY FROM COMPUTER. FEW COMPUTER WRITE CD NOT HAVE AUTO PLAY OPTION.

IF PROBLEM NOT SOLVE PLEASE INTIMATE.

you may have two cd`s inside take the radio out and take it apart. inside the radio there is a realese for the cd tray but you have to have power to the unit for it to work. eject the cd from the front then hit the release on the inside its a little tricky but you should be able to find it

I think that's Demo mode.
I got stuck there too.

This is what worked for me:

1. Power the radio off (hold the power button in top left corner in for several seconds)
2. Remove face plate
3. Hold in reset 10 seconds
4. Press push-menu dial/button 3 or 4 times
5. Insert cd and hit source to switch to tuner before cd starts

Not all of these steps may be necessary.
I suspect having the power off before the reset button was the important part.

Hi,
First press and hold Track-Up and Mode buttons at same time on unit for three seconds to reset disc player, then check if cd get release.
In some cases, performing a reset on the MCD6 may resolve your problem. First try resetting the MCD6 player by pressing the TRACK UP and POWER buttons at the same time. If that does not work, remove the plastic front cover by pulling straight out and press the RESET button below the keypad. If your MCD6 player still does not operate, please take off cover from cd player and try to manually release wedged cd in unit.
If loading gears worn out then nothing will help to fix the unit, please contact local repair shop or M&S Systems at (214).358-3 196
Hope these info will help you.
Let me know if you have any question.
Thanks.

there is no reset button, the reset is to disconnect power to the unit and see if it starts up ok, you do say problem but if it is loading problem then resetting it will not fix it.

if your pioneer radio has the light blue ipbus/changer plug on the back of the radio, you can use this adapter and turn on the <aux> in the menu where you set the clock.

I think you need to press and hold the Play button (marked PLAY/PAUSE) to switch between CD playback and the USB port (you can store mp3 files on a USB stick and play them directly) on the front of the device.

Try inserting a disc, switching the unit to CD mode, press and hold Play until the display changes and the CD spins up...

Might just work?!

Well if the cd player has a reset button push it and it might kick the cd out on it's own. But if it dont then try by removing the battery cable for 1 minute. When you power most electronics they go through a self diagnostic and might just eject the cd. If that dont work then there is only two other things you can do. 1 is to take a small pair of needle nosed pliers and CAREFULLY remove the cd. But this also takes the chance that you might hit something vital and trash the cd player! 2. Uninstall the cd player and remove the top And carefully push the cd out the same way it was put in. If you do get the cd out of the player then the first thing you should do is to put in a laser eye cleaning cd and clean the player. Then see if it comes out by itself. If it does not then it is time to buy a new cd player. KENWOOD cd players are one of the few that come with a reset button that will reset the deck and remove the cd automaticly. This is a very nice option. Good luck

Try resetting the CD (Cambridge soundworks) by unplugging, then repluging. Then hold down the eject button while you turn on the power.
