Lesbaru Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I tried to get my answer through the search function, I really did! I know a while back someone posted about cd's getting stuck in the cd player, how to get them out, and how to fix the problem. (mine's a 96 Legacy with single cd) Could someone with computer skills find it for me and post the link? Thank you from the technologically impaired!

johnb102 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have the same problem on my 95 Legacy but it is mostly in the hot weather. When a disk gets stuck it usually comes part way out and I can stick another disk under it and pull both out. I don't know a real fix other than replacing the radio/cd player.

brus brother Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_cdfaq.html Work your way through this site. I don't know if your's is belt driven or gear driven. The rubber bands stretch and lose function and earlier cassettes and cds were notorious for just such problems. Hope this helps. PS this showed up as a simple Google "CD Repair" search.

Lesbaru Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 I've been using tweezers wrapped in a bandana to pull the cd's out. The player tries to spit them out, but they get stuck. Then the player motor makes all kinds of horrible noise, the cd is stuck right at the edge, and nothing goes anywhere. Putting in a new cd is a risky endevour. They get stuck at the edge, too. (Dang, and I just got a nifty visor cd holder...) I'll have to check the repairfaq link. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_cdfaq4.html#CDFAQ_009 I searched the site a little more. Looks like eithjer a stretched band in the transport or chipped or dirty gears. Let me know what it looks like once you've performed exploratory suirgery.

ShawnW Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Id recommend burning duplicate copies of your originals if you havent already. For personal use only of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 In addition to Shawn's warning, be certain that you only use genuine Subaru tweezers and bandana when working on the CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
