Question about Televison & Video

DVD recorder I have a Goodmans GDVD303RW dvd recorder. There is a label on top of the unit that states the dvd tray willnot open until first installation has been completed. During the first installation I had a power outage which interrupted the process....and the dvd tray will not open. The dvd recorder was a gift bought in the UK......I live in South Africa so returning it is a slight problem.

Have you checked to see if it is off track? Sometimes when these machines get bumpbed, dropped, or fall they can jump track. You have to take the cover off and inspect to see if it is off track when it closes and opens. It should go all the way back on the track when it closes. Be careful not to shock yourself. If it is on when you do it and your hand touches the metal parts inside you can get seriously burned or shocked.

General Problems
Player won’t work (locks up)
• Try unplugging the AC power cord and plugging it back in.
• Reset the DVD/VCR: on the front of the unit, press and hold the STANDBY/ON button while you press and hold the STOP button—wait at least 3 seconds
before you release both of the buttons. You’ll need to set up your menu preferences because this Reset Procedure returns the DVD/VCR’s menus to the
factory default settings and also erases the contents of the Disc Library.

Non si apre il cassetto e sul display compare la scritta "blocked"

Hi there,

Firstly if there is a dvd stuck inside the machine and it won't eject then try the following: Turn off the power at the plug socket and remove the plug then look on the underside of the machine. On some Philips dvd players there is a plain white label below where the dvd tray sits under this label is a slot which gains you access to the manual release. If there is a label and slot gently pierce the label using a small screwdriver and push the screwdriver gently in until it stops then move it from right to left. This action moves a lug sited under the drive unit, this lug is the manual release for the tray. You will then see the tray open and will be able to remove the disc, moving the lug back will close the tray.
But this problem on Philips dvd players and recorders is a fault with the dvd drive and is common on some Philips machines. The only way to cure it is to replace the dvd drive unit itself, the one positive is that Philips used their standard IDE or SATA internal dvd drives, the same as in desk top computers. However a replacement drive would have to be comparable to the exisisting unit to avoid further complications. Please take note as a safety warning this is a technical solution involving the opening of the machine exposing potentially live electrical parts and should only be under taken by a trained technician.

Hope this info helps, James

Drawer won't open. Says "blocked".

I had the same problem with a comparable device. It turned out that the drive belt that operates the ejection mechanism wears out or breaks.
To get at it you need to do the following:
1. remove device cover

2. remove the identification cover on the front of the DVD tray. This may be tricky if you can't open the tray. You need to find a way, because otherwise you can't remove the DVD unit, at least not on my unit.
3. remove the DVD unit by detaching the cables and removing four screws.

4. remove the two top screws on the DVD unit
5. remove the front top cover of the DVD unit by pushing the two tabs on the top of the unit, near the front.

6. Now remove the tray, by pulling it out as far as it goes and then pressing two tabs on either side of the tray. These tabs look like this:

7. Now you get at the drive belt. Originally it was black; I replaced it (temporarily) with a red one in the picture below:

8. Now put everything back together.

Eject tray belt broke

Opening the DVD player tray is not as hard as you would think.

1. Remove three black screws holding the outer cover on the unit (located on rear of unit)

2. Carefully remove front panel trim by gently prying six clips (3 on top, 3 on bottom) away from unit and pulling panel away from unit.

3. Locate opening at the front of the DVD player that houses a larger white gear.

4. Using a finger, gently move gear until DVD tray begins to move outward.

5. Continue until DVD is fully ejected.

6. Try plugging the unit back into AC outlet and attempt to Open/Close the tray using the provided button on the Front Panel Circuit Board.

7. Reverse steps above to put unit back together.

there may be two screws on the top of the tray that holds the rounded magnet, the one that is placed to hold the disc when spinning, remove it, you can then simply take the disc out.
