DVD door will not open

I have a Magnavox 4-head VCR/DVD combo. The VCR plays fine. The DVD door will not open with the remote or manually. I have tried to see if it is stuck shut but I have not been successful in getting it to open. It will stay in DVD mode for only about 1 minuet then it switches back to VCR. HELP!

I had something similar. Try this: press stop on the remote for the DVD; then remove the tape in the VCR, and the door should open.
