I've got a Sony CMT EP707 cd-player:
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/mod...07®ion_id=1
...which a friend asked if I could fix. The problem was that the tray
was sticking out, and wouldn't go back in using the buttons provided.
So I opened it up, got the tray working again, but I don't know how to
configure the 3-plastic disc 'holders' (and I think they might have
been the reason the tray got stuck). Does anyone have any diagnostic
steps I should take? I've only ever fixed my car cd player (which just
required some superglue under the gears)
I'm greeted with combinations of CD ERR 1 and CD ERR 4. Sometimes the
tray doesn't go back in. Sometimes the round metal thing that locks the
cd in place on top of the laser is in the closed position when it
should be in the open position.
Here's some pictures of the player (taken with my crappy phone, sorry)

So if anyone knows how to fix this particular model or generic
troubleshooting steps with this type of changer, please help!
Your pictures show a Sanyo mech that is fitted to many different makes with
slight variations to the laser which is fitted, and correspondingly, the
shape of the cutout in each tray leaf, but I was not aware that Sony had
ever used it. You can find alignment instructions as a video tutorial on my
son's website at

sanyo3cdchanger.zip. Let me know on or off group if you need any further
help with it. It's quite a straightforward mech to align, providing you do
your work carefully. Also, check the half tooth at the front of each tray
very carefully for damage, distortion or missing.
