RCD-510

<< < (3/3)

My RCD-510 turned up yesterday but appears to be faulty :(

When I press the load/eject button, then select a slot (1-6) it just displays an error message after a short delay:


I can't hear the mechanism moving to load the cd and the slot remains closed.  I read that there are 2 ground wires in the wiring harness that need swapped (cd gnd + aux gnd) which I haven't done, could that be the cause?

Any other ideas before I return the unit for a refund?

My CD-changer worked without swapping the ground pins with my RNS-510, although the sound was really really awful. I swapped the ground and sound was good. I'm not sure if the RCD-510 is the same but the CD-GND/AUX-GND pins need to be swapped on the harness. Get a really really tiny flathead screwdriver and try it out.
Otherwise you might need to recode it? Don't think so but it's a thoguht.

Had to send it back for a refund/exchange.  I really hope I can get another as I really liked it.
