The open/close button will not open the dvd tray and a "locked" message appears in the window.
To unlock, manually press and HOLD the open/close button & the stop button simultaneously, and HOLD them both down until the lock picture disappears. The DVD will eject when you press the open/close button. To lock the DVD inside the machine, repeat the same step, and it will lock it inside.

I had the same problem on my Sanyo DWM390 DVD Player. Found out later that My 2 year old was the culprit. Apparently there's a Demo Lock feature that will prevent the DVD from ejecting and you can activate the LM(Lock Mode) by holding down the Eject button for more than 10 sec. You can unlock it by doing the same thing. HOpe it helps, i was relieved i didn't have to buy a new player.

I had the "Locked" problem and solved it by completely unplugging the unit, waiting about 60 seconds and plugging it back in while holding the "stop" button. The tips posted here were very helpful, thanks

I have a Philips DVDR 3575H which locked up on me. The display continually showed that it was in load status and the drawer would not open. Pulling the power cord did the trick. I did not need to hold the "stop" button but the advice certainly was sound. I am so truly appreciative for the help. Thank you, thank you.

I had this problem with my Panasonic RV-30. Basically anything I tried to do displayed "locked" on the player and "tray locked" on the screen. It let me play DVDs but not open the tray, or even turn the power off. To temporarily open the tray I was able to by unplugging the player and pressing eject right as I plug it back in. To fix the problem I reset the player to the factory defaults. I had to download the manual to find out how to do this. For my machine , when it was in the stopped mode, I had to hold down the rewind and pause buttons at the same time, then hold down the eject button for about 5 seconds (until "initializing" went away). Viola, my machine works again.
I tried messing with parental controls in the manu and it was unlocked, so it doesn't appear that was the problem. It looks like the machine got "confused" and needed the reset.

Usually panasonoc/technics have a tray locking device for all CD/DVD products for transit purposes(sometimes a removable platic clip), this is usually situated on the underside of the unit (see unpaking notes in handbook). Check to see if it is in the unlock position. You could try switching the unit off, then switch it back on whilst holding in the stop key on the unit, this often resets some functions.

If you keep the open button pressed in for about five seconds it will say unlocked on the display and be back to normal
Posted on Dec 31, 2006
Hold the open/close button on the set down until it unlocks and the tray will open in about 10secs. That's fixed mine up straight away ay;)

The manual has instructions for this. it is a feature to keep kids from opening the dvd tray and using it as a cupholder, etc. when the trya is open, push and hold the open/close button until "locked" displays. to unlock, push and hold the button until "un-loc" displays. simple, eh?

Just to say thank you to the person or persons who gave me hint as to unlock my dvd player

Protect-plus lockout feature
On certain RCA, Memorex and other clone brand units, there's front-panel button lockout feature called Protect-Plus responsible for causing this aggregating problem.
The primary design intent of this feature is to disable the unit's DVD tray, including the front panel and remote control buttons (for demo units on display in stores) so the disc inside can't be stolen. The secondary intent is to prevent anyone from interfering with timed-recordings previously entered.
To deactivate the Protect-Plus front-panel button lockout condition, press and hold the POWER button (using your remote control) until the lock icon disappears. You will have to hold-down the button for about 10 seconds or so. The Memorex MVDR2102 remote control button you need to press is labeled Standby/ON/OFF rather than POWER.
Activating the Protect-Plus lockout feature works the same way. Be aware, the unit can inadvertently become locked, should you fall-asleep on top of the remote control and the POWER button gets held-down for a sustained period of time, long enough to trigger this troublesome feature.
Note this feature's no longer documented in the User Manual as you've unhappily already discovered. mikeadams110@yahoo.com

Unplug the DVD player. Plug it in again then power up. Then the tray will open normally.

On my Oritron (2001 model), I found the solution just to be turning it off, counting to 60 (about 1 minute), then turning it on again and pressing the tray/eject/open button ... on the machine (my remote works when it wants to for a couple of years, now).

The player will reset and power off. Your preferences have been reset. 5. Power on the player and set language and parental controls as desired. Return to normal

On SONY DVP-NS575P, when the DVD is in stand-by mode, hit RETURN (bent arrow), ENTER and ON/OFF. This should unlock the tray.

If your DVD player is the 400 disk Sony unit, someone has locked you out. The operators manual tell you how to set and un-set the child lock (page 70 and 71). If you don't have the manual, it is available in PDF format from the sony website. plh

I had the tray locked problem on my Panasonic DVD RP91. The solution was to press power on the remote and stop on the dvd player at the same time. Instantly fixed.
Posted on Jan 29, 2007
Please press the POWER-ON Buttom on the IR-Fernbedienung and at the same time the BACKWARDS-Buttom on the DVD-Player
Posted on Jan 15, 2007
The best solution is the only one. ATTENTION: This solution doesn't work using the remote (I tried to surf and unlock from the comfort of my couch .... no way!) Get off your butt and walk over to the DVD player. The bottom line is that your wife, husband or kid (just like my 2-year-old son did) held down the eject (open/close) button too long and your tray locked. Do the same. Just hold it down (even though the "lock" sign disappears and it shows play-time) keep holding it down until it dispays un-lock. That's that! So easy. Now you can finally get that DVD out that you've been watching over and over for the past 5 days and pop in something new! HALLELLUEAH!

Hi SoraTotoro,
This sounds like the child lock has been inadvertently activated . Look through the manual to find the key combination to unlock it.
Hope this helps.

toshiba dvd/vcr/tv combo- my dvd tray is locked- unable to open and lock sign appears on screen when try to eject. the dvd plays fine otherwise.
philips dvdr610
The door is not opening, but mostly because of what sounds to be a hard spinning effort inside, which produces nothing. I'm thinking it is a jammed CD. How do you force the door open or get in otherwise?
I have this problem - When I press "Eject" I get a popup messege which says "Lock on" - Does anyone know a solution or who I should address this to? I have just purchaced this as "Ex demo" from Currys electrical in UK. I can only open the drive by Hard resetting the unit. I tried Firmware update which worked but didn't help. Is there a lock code to stop people stealing the disks during shop demos?
I have a sony rdr-gx330. Tray locked signal on front. Any way to fix?
Thanks
John
One Sony RDR-GX330 has "Traylocked" on display,
Another will not play any disc.

A dvd stopped playing and will not eject. How can I get the dvd to eject?
All of a sudden my dvd tray won't open and I have a disk in it as we speak and the player won't respond to the remote or manually trying to get it to open or play. The blue light comes on but no reading in the screen where it use to come on with "Power on" then read the disk and when you shut it off it first read "power off". Once the blue light is on for a bit then it goes into stand by mode. Will not respond to anything I do and this just all of a sudden happened out of no where. How can I
1. get the disk out?
2. get it to respond again
3. Is there such a thing as a 're set"?
dvd tray wont open says locked on the screen
won't open disc tray. "lock" appears. no button or menu item for locking. tried turning off and on, no luck.
I had the problem. I fixed it by simply doing a factory re set in the others setting, DONE!!!!!
Regards Tech Guy
The open/close button will not open the dvd tray and a "read" message appears in the window

Dvd stuck in tray.....even if you switch off the dvd player and back on ... and no the menu' is also lock out by remotre or on the machine....
Why isnt there a manual release like on pc dvd roms.....
Frustrated
I have a dvd in the tray but i can't get it out and the screen says off. I tried turning it off and it won't do anything
There is no lock front panel button. The instruction manual says to press SETUP and '2005' on the remote control and that the tray will unlock. However, it does not. There is a NO sign that comes on in the DVD player. Nothing seems to help. Another tech person (at another site) said to try unplugging and replugging the unit, then immediately pressing EJECT. Will try this later today. However, the tech person said it may be a problem with the drive, and that the unit may need repair (or just buy a new unit is another recommendation).
i have a sanyo dvd. it said locked. i held the eject button for 5 seconds and it unlocked. If that doesn't work then unplugging the dvd player might work.
When the open/close button is pressed, the DVD tray does not slide out, and a LOCKED message reads from the display. The HOME display on the TV screen no longer has the DVD player option. Rebooting the power has not helped.???
