This is out of warranty; was playing a disc, no. 7 of 12 when suddenly it jammed up. Shows message RESET 01. I followed the printed instruction to hold the reset button ... repeatedly & tried switching car on/off ... and tried wiggling the cassette ... no luck
I contacted the retailer - can't help & does not have a JVC repeairs nubre; tried jvc.co.uk - has everything except someone to contact re repairs.
Any suggestions welcoeme. Either (a) Any way to 'self repair' it or (b) a JVC repair phone number or (c) if I go ahead & buy a replacement ... how to get my discs out!!!! Thanks, Robin from Kent

- Thanks MNfisherman;
I've got as far as I can with the 'easy' bits; removed the sliding top cover and the main metal case (which comprises one 10" x 6" plate, the two 3" x 6" end plates and the base 'half strip', 1½" x 6").
The cassette box remains enclosed on all sides except the top. On one side it is covered by the circuit board on the other by the remaining 10" x 6"\plate. I see no way of removing, or 'getting at' the cassette box without 'major intrusion'. Hmhhh ... pondering whether it's worth a more drastic 'next step' ... it would be great if there were some sotrt of manual 'release' to free the cassette box ... have probed around and haven't come across anything so far.
ps: I'm new to this amazing site & am happy to mak payment for time, so long as there's a reasonable bet someone's knowledge of the unit gives a reasonable chance of a solution.
to manually eject the cd cassette pierce the protective seel on the compulsory eject hole located on the left side of the unit, use a long narrow object like electrical screwdriver and carefully insert it, make sure you put it in straight.
the cd cassette will then eject allowing you to remove cd's.
after re-insertion repeat the re-set procedure by holding in the eject button on unit.
I would pull off cover, unscrew and remove top carriage of tray and remove your disc. While your at it you should take cotton swab and dip it in rubbing alcohol and clean the laser lens. Then reinstall carriage and top cover and try using it again.
