Hi,

 

Getting a dvd to eject is becoming a bit of lottery. Sometimes it will eject cleanly, sometimes it wont. I'm operating the player from the front panel as its playing back into a sony tv. Its been fine for about 12 months.

I see on the screen in the little message box its says "opening" as the tray opens, then it then says "Blocked!" once the dvd tray is fully open - can anyone tell me if this "blocked" is by design and what it might mean please?

 

I tried a few DVDs and they DVD play back, but play back was becoming a bit erratic with freezes occasionally or jumping.

 

I put  DVD cleaner disc in and it didnt make much differnece. I'm not sure if its a sensor thats maybe blocked up by dust etc.

Or is perhaps its time to get it looked at?  Its a great machine when its running well.

ANy thoughts welcome.

S.

I assume you have unplugged it for 10 minutes or so ?? - just in case it has got muddled.  Long shot but you never know.

Without being too opportunist, if its letting you down, you could consider a replacement - as it hapens i just listed mine on ebay, see here
