Jensen CD Power HELP

[KRussell79]

First off I live in the bahamas, so I can't exactly take my deck in to a specialist for diagnostics, so any help would be appreciated.

Okay I recently bought a 99 explorer and at first the cd player which was a very low end SONY model played fine, but now that its at home, I notice about 10 minutes into play time it starts to freak out, ie stops playing for 20 secs, almost like a skip, but freakier, then it says ERROR on the screen and just dies. So smart me, I go out and buy a JENSEN CD3010X am/fm/cd receiver and the same thing is happening. This time however I get an error message of ERROR - 8. Now the first thing I think is skipping, but no, it happens when the car is in park. I am almost at whits end... Anything that you guys may suggest would be appreciated.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Are you trying to play the same CD as you were playing when the sony got screwed up? If you have an error on the CD it can cause the deck to stop playing and display the "ERROR" message. Never had a Jensen but my old sony used to give you an "ERROR" message when the any of my CD-R's were recorded improperly but it can happen if you have a big scratch as well.

In the Jensen manual it should say what Error 8 means
