I placed a dvd recordable disc to record. But this action could be started. The display read LOCK. I have unplugged and turned off the unit but I can eject the disc or do any other action, It remains LOCKED. How do I unlock it>

- This solution resolved nothing. My problem is not with a dvd disc but with the dvd player. My Go VCR/DVD player is LOCKED and I can not find a way to UNLOCK and EJECT my blank dvd disc from the tray.....

The LOCK/UNLOCK feature is for the DVD+RW type discs. You cannot unlock a DVD+R once it's finalized.

For a DVD+RW,

  1. Place the disc into the machine
  2. Use the UP arrow to go to the top menu.
  3. Press the RIGHT arrow to display the disc information menu
  4. Use the RIGHT/LEFT arrows to select "LOCK/UNLOCK Disc" option.
  5. Press ENTER
  6. Change the disc status
  7. Press ENTER
  8. A "Changing Disc Status" bar appears. Process can take a few seconds.
  9. Menu disappears when process is complete.

You can unlock by pressing and holding the Power switch. Sometimes it will then allow you to eject the disk after it restarts, but not always.
