DVD tray keeps opening and closing?

Hi, I have a 2005 Toshiba SD-V383SC DVD Video Player and Video Cassette Recorder, and when I turn it on the DVD tray keeps opening and closing on it's own. This goes on about 3 times and then stops, otherwise the machine works well. What can I do to stop it from misbehaving??.

Thanks I will have that looked at, although it's only a year old, must be a low-end model.

I had this problem for a few days, when I ran the backup for Norton 360. it appears that the backup discs had not fully copied. I ran the backup again and the problem resolved itself.

DVD tray in SD-V296 will not open

Hi!

Thank you. Yes, we did solve the problem; in fact, it was the way we had solved it one other time, even though I had believed it a fluke then:
we simply disconnected the unit for a couple of hours, plugged it back in and, just as last time, the tray opened easily.

Sincerely,

Dean Hunt

Toshiba model sd-v383sc

Atrk means that the unit is in auto-tracking mode and trying to lock in to the tape's recorded speed. This should go away after a short period of time once the tape has started.
