Alpine CDA-7894, CDs don't want to eject, also need to tune my system

Hey guys, My 1st question to all you guru's out there.

When I eject the CD, it only comes out a tiny bit, not even enough to grab it. So I removed the top cover of the unit and played with it for a bit. I can get the CD to eject normaly with just the tinest little nudge. But without that slight nudge, it hardly comes out at all. I have no idea how these mechanisms work, so any help would be great. I love this radio and I need help. I din't wanna trash this radio.

And as this being my 1st question, here is a list of my system:

Alpine CDA-7894, Alpine MRV-F307 4 channel amp, MB Quart 4in (in factory 4x6 dash location), Boston Acoustic 6x9s, Rockford Fosgate Punch 201s 2 channel amp (bridged) and Rockford Fosgate Subwoofer

I need to tune my system, so any help there would be helpful too.

Best suggestion I can give would be to actually take it apart and clean with a cotton swap and alcohol, alot of times crud that is built up on your cds will get in there and make it bind up.

Well, I took the cover off. It was really clean in there. But I played with it, and it seems that it just needs something tightned or a little bit more pressure in the mech to get the CDs to eject all the way. Is there anyone here that is familar with how the eject mechinism works that can help me?

Can anyone post a link to a good post on how to tune my system?

Thanks
