the CD player transport controls are accessed in [RECORD] mode...

are you saying you try those and they don't work?

If your drive is just plain broken, you need to take it to a repair shop.

Tried everything.... I guess repair shop is the way to go

If this happened to me with a new MPC I would do 2 things, probably in this order.

1. Call ZZounds and have them ship you a new one. You should still be in the Return Window.

2. Call Akai and have them replace it at THEIR expense.

If I bought this used, I would just pull out the CD-RW and replace it with a
CD-RW/DVD-ROM
