Never force it, just use the remote.
If it won't stay in, unplug the unit and wait a while.
I think we get viruses from the TV signal which might be temporary (hopefully).

turn it off then unplug the dvdr then after a while plug it again and turn on, now press the play button after a while press the stop button then next is the eject button. if still the tray won't eject unplug the dvdr use a philip screw driver unscrew to open the cover. look for the plastic motor gear then manually turn it with your finger to eject the tray now you can get your dvd. place back the cover and plug the unit and then turn on to check if its working again and eject the tray. thanks i hope it will help you good luck.

General Problems
Player won’t work (locks up)
• Try unplugging the AC power cord and plugging it back in.
• Reset the DVD/VCR: on the front of the unit, press and hold the STANDBY/ON button while you press and hold the STOP button—wait at least 3 seconds
before you release both of the buttons. You’ll need to set up your menu preferences because this Reset Procedure returns the DVD/VCR’s menus to the
factory default settings and also erases the contents of the Disc Library.

My HT-X40 plays cds and mp3's but doesnt play DVD's, this is happening after like 4 months of my purchase. Sasmung DVD's ****.

I had the same problem - unplug first- it is easy to undo all 6 small screws - open it up -plug in and then you can give it a little help to open it. It worked for me, BUT now it will open and close but not play the dvd.

Walks' solution worked for me! Thanks lots! I was about to head to the repair store!
