RE: Error 6 on cd player

That's happened to me. As for the the '04 models, it sometimes has trouble playing burned CDs. Most of the time, it doesn't. But, when I burn a CD using Windows Media Player, the boat along w/ other CD players has trouble w/ it.

Also, in the back of the manual it has a list of all the errors and what they mean....

RE: Error 6 on cd player

From the manual, on the XMD1 and XMD2, error 6:

"This indicates that the CD’s TOC (table of contents) cannot be read, for example because the
selected disc is upside-down."

I could not copy the text from the manual for the XMD-3 but the error points to the same cause, the disk is loaded upside-down.

If you have a CD changer, this error is also due to the disk being upside-down.

Need correct type of CD

If you're trying to play a CD that doesn't have the small "Compact Disc Recordable" label screened on it, the player will periodically display Error Code 6 and not play the CD.

A CD I purchased had this problem. I solved it by copying the original CD to a disc that had the "Compact Disc Recordable" label and it works fine.

I found this solution in the Clarion user manual
