Hi ! I do not know if my Panasonic RX-D13 can read CDs in mp3 Thanks

Hi. Is the HDD drawing too much power from the receiver (does it have its own power supply)?

You could look at the troubleshooting guide in the user manual here:

Yamaha RX V2700

It sounds like you know what the problem is. Get it fixed.

Or try this temporary fix.

Or turn it off and manually operate the selector and all controls a thousand times to wipe the apparent oxides from their contacts.

Here a link to a very similar model. I hope this is helpful:

If it has been a while the laser lens is probably dirty and needs cleaning, you can buy a disc cleaning kit and load it in the machine. The other option is to dis-assemble the unit and use a Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol being careful to clean it gently. If this fails a new assembly will be needed but this would not be cost effective.

Anything that has a headphone output can be adapted to feed an RCA cable pair for standard stereo to any audio device with a standard RCA input. Get a cable like the one described here:

and connect it into any available analog input EXCEPT "Phono". Turn the MP3 player volume up.

Hi,
    The optical lense needs to be replaced by new one.
    Thanks for using fixya.

The discs were not "finalized" or "closed" - place the cd's back on your computer cd-rom drive and search the help file of your CD burning software and search for "closing disc" or "finalizing disc." Some programs will allow you to close or finalize after you have already burned them, but others (Sony SoundForge is one exmaple) will not allow it - you may have to re-burn the discs and select the option that says "close disc after finishing" (this option is usually left unchecked by default, because closing or finalizing a disc prevents you from adding any new information to the disc).

I managed to get this sorted by changing the default setting in windows media player from ripping the CDs as a wma protected file to a mp3 file.

on your boombox it should have a repeat button when you click it there will be an arrow showing on the screen.
