Blocked disc tray - Televison & Video

If your Mini Hi-Fi component system is displaying an "eject" message and then switching off, it could indicate a problem with the disc tray or the system's eject mechanism. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check for any foreign objects in the disc tray: If there is an object blocking the disc tray or preventing it from closing properly, it can cause the system to display an "eject" message and switch off. Remove any foreign objects from the disc tray and try turning the system on again.
2. Check for any damage to the disc tray: If the disc tray is damaged or bent, it may not be able to close properly, which can cause the system to display an "eject" message and switch off. If you notice any damage to the disc tray, it may need to be replaced.
3. Check for any damage to the eject mechanism: If the eject mechanism is damaged or malfunctioning, it may not be able to open and close the disc tray properly, which can cause the system to display an "eject" message and switch off. If you suspect a problem with the eject mechanism, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
4. Check for any other visible issues: If you don't see any obvious issues with the disc tray or the eject mechanism, there could be another problem causing the system to display an "eject" message and switch off. You may want to try unplugging the system and plugging it back in to see if that resolves the issue, or you can try resetting the system according to the manufacturer's instructions.

If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the system serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.

There are a few potential solutions you can try if your disc tray is stuck:

1. Check the power cord and ensure it is securely plugged into the outlet and the back of the device. If the device has a power switch, make sure it is turned on.
2. Check the disc inside the tray to make sure it is not blocking the tray from opening. If there is a disc, try gently pushing the tray in and then pulling it out again to see if it will release.
3. If the above steps do not work, try pressing and holding the "eject" button on the device for a few seconds. This may release the tray.
4. If the tray is still stuck, try pressing and holding the "eject" button while unplugging the device from the power outlet. Wait a few seconds, then plug the device back in and try the "eject" button again.

If you experience difficulty with the disc tray opening or closing, follow these steps to try to resolve the issue.

1. Turn off the power to the disc player or the stereo system, if the disc player does not have a separate POWER button.
2. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
3. Verify there is nothing is blocking the tray from opening or closing.
4. Let the disc player or the stereo system remain without power for approximately one minute.
5. Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet.
6. Turn on the power to the disc player or stereo system.
7. Attempt to open or close the disc drawer or tray.

If the issue is still unresolved, service may be required.
this is direct from sony hope it helps

In the cover of the tray, look for a small hole the size of a pencil lead. Get a paper clip, straighten it out and push it into the hole. That should release the tray so you can get the disc out.

Do you mean it is disc locked or tray locked? If it is tray locked, it may require workshop attention, which could be expensive (depending on the nature of the problem). If it is DISC LOCK, try this:

Up to 20 discs can be locked.

[ Lock ] - To block the playback of the current disc. Subsequent access to a locked disc requires a six-digit password.

The default password is 136900.

[ Unlock ] - All discs can be played.

(You enter the six digit code as above then press OK on remote) (resourced from elsewhere)

the button that can open the tray isnt powering correctly. but it could also be that if you have a disc in there that it would block it from opening if you have dropped it.

I have the same problem. What I do is push my hand down firmly on top of the DVD Recorder above the tray and while doing this press the open button. If this doesn't work get a screwdriver and poke it into the sides of the tray and pull it away. I find that the first method works best! XD

Hope This Helps!

Check if theres anything blocking the disc drive.If that doesn't work each game has a warranty.

Do you have a disc locked up inside? I found that there IS a manual release for the disc tray UNDERNEATH the unit. It is a sort of toggle lever that you have to slide to the other side and that releases the disc. The Manual does not even mention this manual release lever!

Also, it may be hidden or covered by a paper like cover.

it sounds like the disk isnt locating when it slides onto the laser tray if you are ok taking it apart check nothing is blocking the laser tray if their is nothing blocking it check that the laser has retuned back to the middle of the tray if it hasnt then gently push it back and then put it back together. if this dont work you might need to buy new laser witch you can get off ebay they are easy to fit the wires only go into a snap conector try this this should solve your problem
