-   I have the same problem and did notice that the tray makes a noise like it wants to open but does not. I have powered off/on the unit and it worked once but since hasn't. Any more suggestions?(the lock is not on the screen) jimgym@comcast.net - Jim Huff-   Guest
If there is a tiny pin hole in the front a straightened paper clip does wonders. Simply insert to release the drawer. At least that's how it works on computers ;)

Have used this brand new VCR to DVD recorder model DRC 8312 for about 30 minutes playing a tape last night. Now it just locks up with HELLO. (Guess "I'M A PIECE OF WORTHLESS ****" wouldn't fit on the display) My suggested fix: Use prybar or bolt cutters to get your tape out. Then use sledgehammer to pound this RCA product into a million pieces. Never again RCA.

RCA Model #DRC8312N problem: Picked up a movie from Blockbuster (DVD video) and the RCA unit says "no disc" after a lengthy reading of the disc. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you, Mike
