Symphony CD Error Code
 

Hi

Hope someone can shed some light on what the following code would mean on my
UK Symphony CD player (fitted in 2000 A6)

After loading a CD the display shows ERR1.

Obviously an error, possibly reading the disk? but does anyone have any
experience fixing it or has the CD player died.

I haven't got a multichanger, so if the main CD unit is irrepairable I could
fit a multichanger to get over it.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Ian.

I have the Symphony (with Bose, but I suspect that doesn't change the head
unit error codes) and the only time I've ever seen ERR1 was with a disc that,
when cleaned, read fine. So I would indeed suspect that's the basic catch-all
"I can't read the disc" error message.

Assuming you've tried at least a couple of stamped CDs with the same result,
you might try to blow out the inevitable dust accumulation (gently, of course)
and see if the performance improves. Failing that, perhaps someone here has
swapped out a working head unit in favor of an aftermarket solution that you
could obtain a replacement...

I will occasionally get this error message on "home made" CDs. I have found
if you burn them at a very slow speed (4-8X) they work dependably.
