A brief explanation.
The MEP sold to a member of the forum and was sent to him. Once he'd received it he phoned me to say there was a problem and the base unit wasn't accepting CD's - I could hear over the phone a clunking stuttering sound as he tried to load in a CD - clearly it wasn't working, (I was totally baffled as the unit hasn't been used since May, and even then I've never used the CD slots, in fact the only time I've actually put anything in there was when I first got the unit just to test it), so to that end it was sent back to me and full refund issued etc etc.
I received it back roughly an hour ago and performed a factory reset before as I turned it on. Yup, you guessed it - MEP7000 working absolutely perfectly, a satisfying sliding hum as CD slot 1 sucked in the CD, displayed it on the screen and started playing, the same with CD Slot 2.
I can only come to the conclusion that the months inactivity were responsible, having never been used the CD slot took in a CD and went "What The :Censored: is this" and promptly spat it back out again. I rang the buyer to say I'd received it back and after a reset was working absolutely perfectly, and to offer him first refusal as I was going to 're-list' it. The buyer has since bought one of ebay in the last couple of days, hence it's now on here again.
Postage in the UK is £18.50, and that's with parcel force 24.
Offers please if anyone wants the Pioneer MEP7000.
