I have had a cd disc stuck in my jvc xl-v440bk cd deck for a number of years. i happened to come across a model of similar vintage: jvc xl-v311bk (manufactured 1989). the remote from 440 model works on the 311. i have a manual from 440 but none for the 311. my questions are: can the disc be removed from 440 or should i just use the 311? where can i get a manual for the 311? lora THANKS

try to open by hand,see if the tray is stuck.
opening by hand is you turn the motor.
if you put a power supply direct to the motor the pcb will be burnt
(giving a bigger problem).
Look for mechanical problems.

It wasn't a car cd player, but a component for a stereo.  I took off the case and shook the player until the disc dropped out.  We plan to replace the player, so no further help is needed.  Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

Try resetting the CD (Cambridge soundworks) by unplugging, then repluging. Then hold down the eject button while you turn on the power.
