Stock stereo, Insert CD get "ERR"

[sped214]

Not sure if I put this in the right section or not, but I've got a stock stereo headunit with the CD player. Whenever I put a CD in, it waits a few minutes, kicks the cd out and shows "Err" on the display. It does this with any CD. Has anyone ever seen this before, and if so, what did you do to fix it? Please don't say buy a new stereo, I can't afford one right now... Thx.

Uh.. most likely laser head stopped working or dirty. Most likely that would mean new head unit. You can also try using head cleaner, but I doubt it would help.

manual says
humidity, heat, rough road, dirty cd, upside down disc cause the error
then it says contact dealer
best I can do

dirty laser or its out of alignment. get one of those disc cleaners and try that. if not, get a head unit, cause an alignment for the laser is prolly like $50

My 98 did when I first bought it. The dealer had to send it in to get worked on.
