The Pioneer CMX 3000 dual CD player is designed for DJs to use in a format like dual turntables. After several uses, you may experience problems with playback. Following a few simple steps and performing your own maintenance will have your device operating effectively and will save you time, frustration and money.
Non-Ejecting Disc
If a disc won't eject when you press the "Eject" button, it's possible the power cord isn't plugged in. Remedy this by turning the 3000 around so that the back is facing you, and readjust the power cord. Check the cord for damage, such as cuts or tears. It's possible that a track is in the middle of playback, at which point it will not eject unless the CD has been paused or the device is in standby mode. If none of these remedies work, the "Eject" button may be broken and in need of repair.
Playback Malfunction
If your CD doesn't begin to playback automatically after it's insertion, the "Auto Cue" function may be activated. You can check this by pushing the "Play/Pause" button to start playing the disc. If the disc plays, then the "Auto Cue" function is on. The "Auto Cue" function can be turned off by pushing and holding the "Time Mode/Auto Cue" button for a second or longer. "Auto Cue" mode should then be deactivated and CDs will play immediately upon being inserted into the 3000.
No Sound
If you're not hearing any sound during a CD playback, your audio cords may have come loose or aren't attached correctly. Turn the back of the 3000 towards and check to see that your audio cables are properly attached. Reset the connection by detaching the cords. Check the receptors and jacks for dirt or grime. If you see that they are dirty, clean them with a dry cloth after powering your device down. Reattach your audio sources. If this doesn't work, confirm that the CD is not in pause mode. If so, push the "Play/Pause" button to continue playing the CD.
Noisy Playback
If you 're hearing a large amount of weird noise during the playback of certain discs, you may have inserted a warped or seriously scratched disc. Eject the disc and check it for dirt or grime. If you see that the disc is dirty, clean it, then insert it back into your 3000. If it's not dirty, replace it with a new one.
