radio and CD fault

[loveland]

hi i have a facelift ek9 with a double DIN head unit.(one at the top and one at the bottom). i think it is an after market one as the bottom unit is a mini disk player and the top a radio and cd. they all work together and tilt the same. radio does not work for obvious reasons as it needs a band expander but i am stumped with the cd. it accepts cds but wont play them. is it because in japan they use different code? please help dont waqnt to get rid as it is a quality piece of equipment. dont want to do what my brother did to his wich was take it out for a sony one. will post what make mine is and what my brothers one is that he took out. someone sed it was worth a bit the unit he took out.

use i usded to burn music, i did try to play an original as well think it was the killers cd but that didnt read at all. my younger brother suggested getting cds from japan off ebay and see if they work, think they are only couple of quit so ill try that. have not tried the MD bit yet but not so fond of them. if it doesnt work i will have to replace them. thanks for the help
