Pioneer XR-P56OF
There are typically cam belts that become lose after some time that allow the deck to get stuck in a mode that locks the door closed such as play mode. Rotating the pulley that is driven by the motor will release the tape but that is just to release the tape- you need a new belt in the unit and some cleaning and lubrication to make it working again.
Testimonial: "Thanks Sam - or maybe thanks if the cleaning works out! J Mc"
I can eventually open the door by applying repeated presure to it externally. It acts as if there is a door catch sticking? It will then open and shut at least several times before sticking again. I think it may need some cleaning and lubrication? I will not be able to confirm that until I take it to a service provider

Can eventually open door by applying repeated pressure on its externally but then after opening successfully several times it will lock up again. The problem seeems to be as if there is a doorlock catching. I can only check Sam Palermo's suggestion by taking it to a service provider. John McIlroy
There are many different designs- I call some unit cam but they can be a gear system as well but in the end they do the same thing. Most all of them use belts for the safety consideration. This is like a clutch in case something goes wrong in the control section. Opening the door really is not all that important next to getting the deck working again like it was new. My worry is the head wear that is not something that is easy to deal with once all heads are gone.
