Does anyone knows if its possible to eject the detachable front panel without ejecting the loaded CD?

On most recievers you can detach the front panel w/o removing the cd. I have had 3 pioneer h.u.'s and i havent had to ever remove a cd.

...but this new receiver model has an automatic feature that slides the front panel to either change the CD or to remove the panel. Thanks anyway.

I've always wondered if CDs left in HUs overnight can cause any damage. Is it an unfounded myth?

In any event, I always take out my CDs when I go home for the night.

most receivers that have motorized displays can have it removed also.

The slot for loading the CD is behind the display and if you want to take out/put in CDs, you hit a button and the face plate moves down to expose the slot, and after you put in the CD, it goes back into place. And then you can shut off the head unit and still be able to take off the face plate.

I think you mean is it possible to take the faceplate off without having the CD come out? The answer (to my knowledge) is no, as the eject button is also the open button.

it is okay though, once you take the faceplate off the CD goes back in, when you come back the CD is in the same spot (for my at least)

oops, if the remove and open/close button are both the same....then lotas is prolly right.

btw, lotas, nice accord. are those hubcaps???

I got a white, 95 2dr ex. I'll be putting up pics on cardomain as soon as my friend has the time to let me borrow his digi cam.

you got any pics for your CDTs?

Hey Nist7, i always keep cd's in the h.u. overnight and i dont usually have problems.
As for taking off the faceplate, most pioneers have a separate button for ejecting the cd and for moving the faceplate. But i dont know. I dont see that model head unit on pioneer's website. Any links?

on my pioneer hu, if you hold the open button down for a few, the face will slide down to detach it, with the CD still playing. or do you mean when you shut the car off?

that year in a 2door is actually the car i wanted to get, but I couldnt find one and so i just bought that accord my parents drove when they bought a new car...

during spring break (apr. 1st or so it starts) im doing a false floor project and ill be moving the crossovers to the trunk and such so ill take some pictures then. They are pretty cool looking with the carbon-fiber cone.
