Clarion CDC635 Car CD Changer

[Tony Marsillo]

This unit will take the six CDs in from the magazine one at a time then
return it to the mag and grab the next one. It will do it for all six, and
not even try to read the CD, no lens movement at all. Then the display will
come up with "Er 9". Anyone know what this error refers to?

Thanks

Hi Jeff,
The controller Model number is FMC200, the display unit has no model number.
It is a small LCD display with a few buttons, power, illumination,
play/pause, ROM/RPT, Disc up/down and Track Up/Down. The "ER 9" comes up
with or without the magazine in. I did find a 470uF/25V cap with high ESR in
the FMC200 unit, changed it and checked that the 6.2 volts, 5 volts and 12
volts were present. Still got the error message.

Thanks

Hi Tony,
That S/M lists no err codes. FMC100/200
However the changer should cycle each disc as you
describe, not read each disc, then after it knows
how many discs there are it will play.
If you are sure the interconnect cable is good and
Clarions...not something else.
Call Clarion and ask.
I would like to know what they say and what you
find.
It acts like a comm. problem between the two units.

Hi Jeff,
I will start with buzzing out the two control cables, if that does not show
anything I will give Clarion a call and post a follow up.

Thanks for your help.
