Error 3 on a Avalon jbl stereo CD player , it takes the CD in and spits it out before the code is displayed and will not play .

It depends on what you are trying to use that gives you the code. Error Code 2006 with Outlook seems to arise when you try to sync with Outlook 2007 not running. Open Outlook 2007 and then try to sync.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error 1.Battery inside CD Changer needs to be replaced.
Error 2.CD error message. Mechanism has as eject problem or takes a long time to select CD.
Error 3.CD error message. The pick-up is out of focus during play mode due to scratches on the disc or contamination.
Error 4.Connection problem. Reconnect the data cable.
Error 5.CD error message. Could not read correct data due to CD ROM.
Error 6.CD error message. Could not read data from disc because it is upside-down.

For error code 6:
Try an original purchased cd with no scratches and see if the cd player reads it. If yes then lens is dirty or tired so try using a cleaning cd(has little brushes on it). If it doesn't read with the original cd try using the cleaning cd and if no go then look at purchasing a new cd player!

Error code 3 generally means CD is stuck and unable to eject

dear,
I have different experiance with the C.Dplayer ( error 3 ) , there is no need to remove it nor send it to the dealer ,all you have to do when you have `` Error 3 `` is to reset the C.D player , by recycling the power supply ,this can be done by disconnecting the main car battery power supply , you must also keep the battery disconnected for at least one hour . then connect the cables to the batteries ,when you start the C.D player you will hear some clicking sound ,and watch the numbers of the C.D`s in the display you will find all what is inside has been detected by the display .
and your C.D player is back to normal..

i discovered ths by chance , when I had this error in the past ,coincidently I had to replace the battery and after installing the new batteries ,i was suprised to see the player back to normal condition by its self.

Error 01 is normally on most machines to say it cannot read the discs. Could be dirty laser or a defective one. Must open to make better diagnosis.

I have the same problem. Any luck?

Error 11 is probably the laser...;)

the car stereo does not play cd's that is not a technical problem that someone can talk to be about, and I am not paying to find that out, so i went to someone who could fix it

I have the same problem now too. It shows up error 11, 12 or 17. I tried using a cleaning CD but did not work. I think the lens needs to be replaced.
