Cant cue up cd, it just starts playing when inserted

hmm there must be a button w a secondary function for the auto cue. if not are you using software with it. check there as well. if you cant find it let me know ill do some research for ya.

If this was brought to me for repair the first thing I would do is completly strip the player to clean out any beer residue. This would involve washing all the plastic parts (top chassis, knobs, jog wheel parts etc etc) in warm soapy water. Any residue on the circuit boards is best cleaned off with a toothbrush and an alcohol based spray / liquid such as Isopropyl alcohol (if nothing else available metholated spirit will do but it tends to leave a purple residue itself).
Some spare parts may well be needed if, for instance the beer has got into the tack switches or pitch fader etc.
Error 9101 is stated as :-
Mechanical time out - Abnormality of disc loading mechanism
so the beer may well have got in the deck aswell but it could also be the electronics are confused causing the deck to do stange things thus generating the fault code - hard to say for sure without having the player on the workbence.
I hope this information helps.

Good source of spare parts :-

Hi,

There is no other option than cleaning.
The player must be taken apart to clean those knobs and housing.

Kind regards,

how to copy cd to cd plus how to get the remote to work then copy cassette to cd ? thank you

CDJ 1000 mk 3 freezing while playing tracks and sometimes freezes when a cd is inserted. The orange cue light comes on but the green play doesnt. Any ideas?

Thanks

You need to use the Digital Jukebox utility from Panny. I am going to test it out this weekend.

I have had one of these for many years: Switch it on, you must make sure the two transit screws at the back of each deck are fully unscrewed and loose, let the machine displays settle down, then insert a CD, then press the 'reset' button. There is a built-in delay of about 11 seconds before the deck begins to read. After this the machine should then display the first track number, and pressing the big red button will start play.

Pressing the 'reset' button again stops playback and the CD spins down, but if you leave the CD in there it will eventually re-index and cue up again. This feature is to enable fast, one-button CD changing and it works very well in practice, as the 11 second delay is enough time to take one CD out and get another in there before it tries to read it again.

To stop playback just press the 'reset' button (this is the most used button!) and take out the CD. After the delay, the machine will try to read a CD as normal, but display 'no CD' on the display. There is no stop button, as this unit was designed for continuous use in a club or disco.

Hope this helps. :)

I have had this problem as well and found out a couple of things in the process. The offending deck sometimes just does not find the proper cue marks on the disc. I have unplugged the interconnect cable and plugged it back it, this resets the unit and this appears to work for a few times.

However, I also opened the bottom unit and cleaned the laster lenses, we are in a dusty climate and the dust builds up no mater what you do to control it.

If you choose to clean the lenses, you will notice there is a gear near the openings of the laser. Turn off your unit and rotate the gear so the laser shows in the opening. Clean the lens, I used a little Windex and a cue tip. Rotate the gear so the lens is in the position it was before you moved it for cleaning.

Found a video on a web site "how to remove the platter". It's a job which does'nt need a lot of skill just great care and patience. Within the video the guy will show the senors inside the platter itself. This is wear I found a huge build up dust which I blew off with a can of air. It's not a proffensional video but I found it very easy to follow. Unfortunate for though upon putting the deck back together again I've caused more damage with my clumsy haevy handed inpatience! After looking inside the deck (as long as you have no warranty left) you will see it is not that difficult and as a tip you can disconnect the lines of flat wires as they plug into the circuit board and are not soldered in. No soldering required to fix this. The guy who made this video deserves a lot of credit due to the fact he can save many of these decks from going to the bin! If I was rich and famous I would award him an Enviromental Gong.
