    Question My CD Reciever's acting up - HELP !!!

    I got this Aiwa CD reciver headunit just about 5 months back. Just to cut out on the budget, i opted for Aiwa - after the company's after sales department had packed up and left India - but it was quite a steal - at the price of a cassette player - i got a cd player and a pair of Aiwa coaxial ovals (6"x9") - the head unit says 45Wx4.
    The problem is that all of a sudden its started skipping cds and 8 out of 10 attempts at running a cd it just beeps and says Error. what could have gone wrong? I live in a desert - could it be the sand working out on the lens? What's your guess at the source of error? and where do u guys suggest i get it repaired?

    I'm gonna go with something is wrong with your lens, and sand may be part of the culprit. If the HU is still under warranty (not sure if it even had a warranty to begin with), take it to a certified Aiwa repair shop, or call Aiwa and ship it to them. If it isn't, a reputable electronics sales and repair shop should be able to help you out. Call around. ;)

    Xplod - The HU was a billed Aiwa product with all paper work in place but the company found it hard to live up in the indian competition - all their products had similar problems in the Indian climate. So now Aiwa has stopped production and distribution in India and now they provide no after sales support here.

    A company owned service center of Sony or Philips or Samsung would be able to handle the thing - I hope !!

    Well dust can be a huge factor in the desert. Aiwa isn't known for hi-end products, so it could also be the end of the products life.

    I wouldn't recommend taking it apart, but if you can't find a place where they can take it back and give you a new one... time to look into a new HU.

    For price/quality, depending on how much you are willing to spend... Blaupunkt is pretty decent. My buddy had a F150 with only AM radio, so he complained and then i told him about the MP3 player they sell, and its pretty great considering the price ($129 U$D). Otherwise, go Kenwood, Pioneer, or even Sony, those are some of the better HU's I have experienced.
