Dvd Ejection When ever I press the Close/open button while the dvd tray is out, it closes then opens by itself. I tried to close it again but it still does that to me.It rarly (but does) closes compleately after a while.

With the unit turned off, press and hold the [STOP] and [CHANNEL UP] buttons on the main unit at the same time for about 5 seconds. (Ejection may take extra time depending on discs.)
DO THIS ON THE MAIN UNIT (NOT on the remote)
It worked well for me. Roget

Hi there,

When I was with Samsung NZ, the following was how we multizoned our DVD (Region 4) players:
1. Turn on your player, but ensure no disc in machine - screen should show "No Disc"
2. Turn on your TV and select your DVD input (as if you were to watch your DVD).

Using your factory supplied remote, press the following buttons:

3. Press the Repeat (or Repeat A-B) button
4. Press the following button sequence: 7, 6, 8, 8, 4, 9 (you should see the number '9' appear on screen - this means 'Region Free').
5. Press the Open/Close button (to open the tray)
6. Press the Open/Close button again (to close the tray)
7. Press Power OFF (to shut down your DVD player)
8. Press Power ON (to turn on your DVD player)
9. Insert Region 2 disc and wait (up to 1min) for firmware to respond and read your disc

If this fails, try procedure again, except for Step 4: change the last number (instead of 9) to '2'.


Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Scott

You are having a loading tray sensor problem. It is a small leaf switch on the under side of the loading tray. It must be having a contact problem. How it works is when you close the tray at the end of the tray's travel this switch closes and shorts sending a signal to the microprocessor to shut down the loading motor, same happens when you press eject. Sounds simple but is little difficult to access for a first timer. One you get to it all you need is some switch cleaning spray ( even WD40 will work wonders ).
Take professional help it will just take 10 minutes and will cost you only labor charges. You can mess up the timing if you get it wrong and the loading tray may not work properly.

Hi friend. Try this:
Press the power button on the Toshiba DVD player remote. Press the "Open/Close" button to eject the disc tray. Remove any disc that might be on the tray before proceeding.
Press the following keys on the remote in this order: 2,4,0,3,9,6,0.
Press the "9" key on the remote.
Press the "Open/Close" button to close the disc tray. Press the power button to turn the Toshiba DVD player on.

Hope it works.

1. Power on the DVD player
2. Press the Open/close button on your remote control to open the drive tray and remove any disk
3. Press 2403960
4. Press 9 for multi-region playback. DO NOT Press Enter button on your remote control
5. You will see a 9 (region-free) on the TV (right corner)
6. Press the Open/close button on your remote control to close the drive tray
7. Power off the DVD player
8. Power on the DVD player and it is region free.

There a button on the right side of the disc tray said open/close press this button ur disc tray will open manually.Press it again it will close.

Quick trick

First let's find out if the motor is dead or
the magnetic clamp is to strong for the motor.

Press eject then listen closely for the sounds of struggling motor
if you hear it trying SLAP the top right over the DVD drive
and that should break the magnetic seal and release the tray
you may have to try a few times Press eject and open hand slap kinda
hard the top of the DVD drive , don't worry you won't hurt it.


if that works email me and ill tell you how to fix this.

1) Turn on the player with no disc in the tray
2) Press the Open/Close button to open the tray
3) Press the info button, the firmware version shows up (mine was 080220.13.B.1080PXKEG)
4) After the version info disappears, close the tray again by pressing the Open/Close button
5) At this point, it will show "no disc" at the top. Press the Info button again, and this will disappear.
6) Now type the code that applies for your region (R4 is 76884). A '4' will briefly show up at the top left corner
7) Now press 9, and 9 will show up in the top left corner
8) Power off the player, and turn it on again. You'll have a multi region player

Enjoy

Alright, just follow these steps and let me know if you have any problems or questions

1. Power and switch on the Durabrand DVD player.
2. Open the DVD disc tray tray or lid.
3. Press Stop.
4. Press 3 - 5 - 9 - 7 (3597 in sequence). Can be done on remote control.
5. Hidden DVD Region menu appears. Select region 0 or 9 using up or down button on remote control
6. Press OK.
7. Close the disc tray and press Standby on the DVD player front

I am pursuing the exact problem above. I have found a not so hi tech solution. I firmly rap on the top above the disc drawer. This is while Close is being displayed and the drawer is in. If you hear some spinning and load displays it should now work. It may be back to cycling again on the next ejection though.
Technically I figure it may be a sticky magnetic reed switch or what ever they use to detect the drawer position. Mine displays either open or close when it starts to cycle.
