CD Stuck in Alpine CDA-78xx

[cpaggie_07]

Howdy! I just installed my Alpine HU in my truck (came from previous vehicle). Anyway, I have a CD stuck in the damn thing! It's a CD-R, but it doesn't have a label. In fact, this particular CD has played many many times before in this same HU. At first it was stuck, but still playing. Then I switched to the tuner, thinking it might help. I went back to the CD, and it didn't work. So now, it's stuck, and it doesn't work! I looked in my owner's manual for the HU, but it doesn't really offer any troubleshooting advice. Has anyone experienced this problem, or know of a way to get the CD out without destroying the HU? Thanks in advance!

Okay, got it fixed! Apparently, on Alpine HUs, if your CD doesn't eject or is stuck, if you hold the "eject" button for about 3 seconds, it'll spit it out. That was a close one! I was already looking for a new CD player.
