Hello All, Somehow my HU850 has managed to get 'stuck' internally today ..i believe disk 2 is the culprit as the only message i am getting when i press eject is: 'CD 2 Ejecting.....' then 'CD Error' Lots of whirring and clicking noises but no CD is ejected or played since the disk got stuck. Does anyone know how to get a disk out manually ... without using a hammer??! Rich

Take it out, take the lid off and poke about.

Thanks baj, Done that, there was a loose piece of metal inside... looks like some sort of clamping plate and the top cd disc 6 or 1 has come off the carrier in the process and is preventing the others from being ejected. Not good

No doubt some of the metal clamping disks are broken, i have a few lying around from my radio (HU850) if u still in need of any.

I managed to get the unit replaced foc from the dealer I bought it from as at the time it failed I hadn't owned it long. It has potential to fail again in time though if its got the same internals in the refurbished one. How long did yours last?

i did not refurb mine, put a usb dvd player inside the radio instead so it looks original.
