Magazine stuck in Clarion CD Changer

I have an OEM Clarion CD Changer, and I put the magazine in the changer yesterday, and it did not go through it's normal routine of flipping through the discs. When I hit the eject button, nothing.
When I hit the CD changer button (on the OEM stereo unit) I get "CD Err"
Anyone have this problem before? Is there a manual eject like a computer CD tray? Can I just disconnect port or will I have to dismantle this unit?
Any help would be appreciated !

Same thing happened to me one day. I foolishly put all 6 CDs into the magazine upside down and that appeared to be the cause since it has not happened since. Perhaps this is your problem too?
I could find no manual eject, nor instructions in the documenation for forcing an eject.
Its was scary for awhile but lucky for me after many (20?)H/U power off/on cycles while pressing the Eject button it finally DID eject. I would keep trying. Taking it apart would not be a good idea. Good luck.

There should be a little hole in the CD Changer, like the one you have in a CD drive on the computer. That is the reset button, just open the door on the changer and push the button. Should come out.

It actually fixed itself.
After a day, I figured it bouncing around in the trunk might do it some good, so tonight I went to the trunk, with the car running and the HU on, and hit the eject button, and behold, it popped out !

Thanks for the posts !
