Default Cd-changer not working.

I have a 2000 coupe with the factory 12 disc changer in the back. The changer is getting power, it lights up and the magazine cycles in and out. Everything else on the stereo works fine, when I press the aux button to use the changer nothing happens for awhile and then "Err" comes up on the screen. I searched the forum and couldnt find anything on this. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

There is usually two causes of this. The first is if the disks are upside down. The second is people will insert the cartridge back into it, it starts loading and verifying each disk, but rather than wait, they will go start the car. This stops the process and causes the error. Simply ejecting and re-inserting it after the car is running/driving, it'll go through them normally and once completed, it'll show up as available on the head unit.
