How do I play a CD on a Pioneer dvd-v7400 ?


Hopefully someone here has this DVD player. I just got one to use as a transport for CDs. I'm using a universal remote and have a copy of the manual. From the little information I've found you have to plug the unit into a TV to set it up for CD playing but the manual is useless as to how to actually do it. I am able to get into the menus but anything I've tried has no effect in getting the unit to play music or even recognize a cd (the disc illumination LED is supposed to flash orange when a cd is inserted - so far just a green light) . It does play DVDs but I read somewhere that it actually has 2 lasers, one for DVDs and one for CDs. It has a total playing time of 5400 hours so has a way to go before the MTBF of 37000 hours and I assume most of those hours are playing DVDs. Any help in setting up the player to recognize CDs would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike.

MFM gives good advice. One thing I would add - if the unit has a headphone jack, see if you can hear what's on the CD using a pair of headphones. This will at least tell you if the unit is even reading the CD(s). And be sure to use a commercially pressed CD, not a home burned one...
