Insignia DVD Player

The player disc door will not open, nor will the VCR eject button work. The word "safe" appears whenever we try to open the DVD disc door, or eject the VCR tape.

    If I had another DVD Player that would work in the machine, I do have the technical ability to swap out the DVD myself.

    I think my dvd player has gone bad. When I put dvd in, it just says, disc error or no disc. Is there a replacement dvd player available?

    yesterday I put a dvd in my insignia tv/dvd combo and it worked. Today the same disc goes in and then is ejected. The same thing is happening to other dvds.

Try hitting the "Lock" button on the remote. That solved the problem for us.

I have this problem also, but am still looking for a permanent solution. It appears that this is a safe mode to prevent children from messing with the unit. I don't know how I activated it or how to deactivate this mode. I have found that all functions, including DVD and VHS Tape eject work normally from the remote. Use of the remote will give you complete control until the safe mode can be deactivated.

    I just spoke to Insignia. They advised to unplug the unit for one minute, then plug in. If this does not clear the problem, the unit will have to be returned to the store for replacement. (It cured my Safe mode problem.)

It also may be the CD belt (inside, on the motor shaft) is broken.

Why doesn't the open/close button on DVD player of DVD/VCR combo work?
Assuming there is not a forgotten tape stuck in the VCR side, the mode selection logic has gotten all confused. On the VCR side, a tape is grabbed and loaded to be played. There probably is an EJECT button that is enabled for later use. The DVD side is disabled so no buttons work. On the DVD side, the open/close button is enabled (if no VCR-side problem is detected), allowing you to place a DVD in the tray and close it to play. The VCR side is disabled so no buttons work. That's the theory. From your description a sensor on the VCR side may have failed or been damaged, causing the player to keep reverting to VCR and preventing use of the DVD side.

Dvd will not eject
Jammed.
Straighten one end of a Norwegian paper-clip.
Insert that end into the small hole in the face-plate.
Push until you feel resistance.
Firmly push another 5mm to "unlock" it.
Then, press OPEN.

I can't get my DVD disc to eject. It will play but won't eject? Any suggestions
You should try unplugging the DVD player from its power source then plugging it back in. Now try to open it and if that doesn't work than you'll probraly have to take it apart to get the disk out but sometimes the DVD players can get worn out or if you have a cheaper DVD player it might just be freezing up on you. I have had these problems before. I just took the DVD player apart to get my disk and then trashed it.

Have a vcr/dvd combo. The door will not open on dvd player.
A disc may be stuck inside it, preventing it from opening. You may have to remove the housing on the unit and look inside the dvd area to see if there is something stuck. It could also be broken or not getting power. Try unplugging it for a few minutes than trying it again, as well as holding down the eject button for a few seconds. Be patient after each button press, as the player is programmed to stop the disc and "park" the laser before ejecting.
Hope this helps!

DVD door won't open
It's likely the drive belt that controls the sledge the disc goes on has perished or fallen off. It should just need replacing.

VCR, DVD PLAYER
Try resetting the unit. Push and hold the on/off button for 10+ seconds. --or-- Look for a reset button behind the drop down door, and gently depress it with a pen point for a couple of seconds. If this does not work, try calling Panasonic.

Safe
There should be a button on your remote labeled "safe." Press that, and it will turn the safe mode off. It's on the second row from the bottom on my remote.
