Hey guys my cd player is displaying an error i dont understand.

CD Player: Clarion DXZ666MP

Error: "Error 6" Manual says the disc is upside down

The disc isnt upside down, ive tried reseting the unit multiple times through the reset button on the bottom right and still nothing, everything else works fine, just wont ready any cd's ironic because it worked fine with the same cd's for months

any suggestions? Kind Regards

Maybe you could try disconnecting the battery, then reconnecting it again. Not really sure what else to do, I've got a clarion, and its been great!

Mine was to, untill today started skipping and what not, turned the car off went to the shops, got back into the car "error 6" :rant: stupid crap lol

That unit is very very similar to my one, yours is the model up i think, ive never had a problem with mine or with any previous clarion units, good luck with it, guessing its not under warranty?

the laser might have burnt itself out
should be able to get it repaired but unsure of the costs

You've got my vote! Hehe

I had an error 6 on a few cd's that i happened to burn... i re burn the music on a different brand of cd and it worked fine... maybe the laser can't pick up a certain type of cd

Played fine with these cds, for over 3 months, plus i just reburnt them with 2 different brands of Cd's and nothing :(

Ok, so ive been told to take it out and send it back to the store, now my only problem is taking it out, how could i take out the cd player? and how would i unwire it? ive been told cut the wires off? any tips/hints guys? first time removing a in car cd/mp3 player any tips would be appreciated

thanks guys

maybe a member that lives close to you could come around and give you hand with it (i would but live in qld)......come on guys.

hehehe, thanks anyhow friend :), all in all im over clarion and i doubt id be buying anymore in the near future :rant:

my first preferrence is kenwood but everyone has their opinion

Well I'd be happy to come around and give you a hand getting it out, and you can borrow my Verada headunit until you get yours back if you like. And you can take a look at my CarPC to see if you like ;)

Who installed the unit originally? Just wondering if they chopped the connector off (if they did the Verada HU won't have anything to connect to).

Friend, you are a legend :), it was a mate of mine, no idea what he did but clarion isnt being to helpful :(

my first preferrence is kenwood but everyone has their opinion

My opinion is that Kenwood has its place... in the bin.

Every unit has a loom and harness, it means there is a plastic plug that holds all the wires in the rear of the deck. Pull that out along with any RCA / Bus ( stacker / Ipod / RCA input ) / Aerial that are hooked up and the unit will be free. Taking it out is easy, its good that you have someone willing to help, it just means that you wont break anything. Make sure you give it a go though. :D

Just a question though, have you tried a normal non burnt CD? Perhaps you should also send Clarion a CD that doesn't work.
