I can't use the device because I get an error code u61 which the manual says was ue to a power failure (there was one). It will not self recover even when unpluged for days.
I've solved my problem - thanks to a suggestion on another site. Apparently the machine is sensitive to the type of disc when it has a problem - I inserted an identical make and type of disc (RW in my case) and it then completed its 'restore to normal operation' and the error msg went away.
Also suggested but didn't work in my case was opening the flap on the front, and with the machine OFF, press and hold STOP and Channel UP.
Hope this helps

Just to clarify what JROlfe2003 had said to perform what was decribed you have to
The unit is carrying out the recovery process. Do the following to eject the disc.
(1) Press [O/I] on the main unit to switch the unit to standby. If the unit does not switch to standby,
press and hold [O/I] on the main unit for about 10 seconds. The unit is forcibly switched to
standby.
(2) While the unit is off, press and hold the stop button and [CH, up] on the main unit at the same time for about 5 seconds. Remove the disc.
