My CD drawer won't open please help ?

My denon has a belt and it gets loose. I have to get a new belt and then all is fine. Chris

I fixed a similar problem by cleaning the drive belt with a non-slip fluid for rubber parts, like belts and idler wheels, purchased at Radio Shack (isopropyl might work if you find the stuff's unavailable). The faulty player used a rubber belt to drive the gears for the drawer mechanism, and it was slipping due to contamination or age. Solvent cleaning restored its grip. I hope your problem is that easily remedied. Good luck.

Could just be slipping belt or loose spindle pulley(loose grub screw)that holds tension.

I once had a unit do the same thing. The rails that the drawer rides on had gotten out of alignment (this was during shipment--so it may be unlikely in your case). I opened the unit, losened the rails and manually opened and closed the drawer to align the rails. Once they were aligned I tighened them down part way--open and closed the drawer via remote and then finished tightening down the rails. It sounds simple, but in actuality it took me about 3 times to get it right. Once I got it right the drawer worked very well. Also, I would recommend a teflon based grease--it typically will not wear off. However, if the unit uses delron as the bearing material, no grease can frequently be better than any grease.

I concur with the above responses: It's the drive belt that is used to open the drawer. I have a cheap Yamaha that I use in my bedroom. It displayed the exact same problem. I opened the unit, plugged it in and watched the insides as I pressed the drawer button: everything works...the belt just spins. So...I just happend to have found a robust rubber band that was the same size as the belt, slapped it on, and voila! It has been working fine since.
