Salutations: It may still be toast - but are you sure it doesn't require a 'carrier' for the CD? My 89 has the full Clarion stack and I had to ask the previous owner for the 5 'cassettes' that came with it. They hold one CD per, you can only put one at time in and they don't always play all CD's as the read speed is limited. I don't have a 'EQ' in mine, so it may be entirely different - but worth asking about if you are talking to a Clarion specialist. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Xmas Tune o'be-do-da-day Ella Fitzgerald - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/0019.RAM On Wed, 10 Dec 2003 06:20:33 -0500, KeithG <noonenopsamay.com> wrote: > Probably toast.
