Cassette Stuck in Sony Hi-Fi RV-888d

The "Eject" and "Standby" display issue on your Sony MHC-GNZ888D could be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from simple glitches to more complex hardware problems. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to address the issue:

1. Check Power Source and Cables:
   • Ensure that the power source and power cables are properly connected and providing a stable power supply to the system.
   • Try plugging the Hi-Fi into a different power outlet to rule out any issues with the electrical supply.
2. Reset the System:
   • Unplug the Hi-Fi from the power source and wait for a few minutes.
   • Plug it back in and try turning it on again. This can sometimes reset any minor glitches in the system.
3. Remove and Reinsert Discs and Tapes:
   • If you have any discs or tapes in the player, remove them and make sure there is nothing obstructing the mechanisms.
4. Disconnect External Devices:
   • Disconnect any external devices (USB drives, smartphones, etc.) that are connected to the Hi-Fi and try turning it on again.
5. Check for Jammed Mechanisms:
   • Open the disc tray (if applicable) and visually inspect for any obstructions or jams. Gently remove any foreign objects if you find any.
6. Cassette Deck Maintenance:
   • If you're not hearing the usual clicking sounds from the cassette deck, there might be an issue with the mechanisms.
   • Try opening the cassette compartment and visually inspect the mechanisms for any obstructions or damage. Ensure that the cassette deck is clean and free of debris.
7. Cooling and Ventilation:
   • Make sure the Hi-Fi has proper ventilation and is not overheating. If it gets too hot, it might automatically go into standby mode.
8. Seek Professional Repair:
   • If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there might be a more serious hardware problem.
   • In such cases, it's recommended to contact Sony customer support or a professional audio equipment technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Remember that working with electronic equipment carries inherent risks, and if you're not comfortable or experienced with troubleshooting and repairs, it's best to seek professional assistance to avoid potential damage to the equipment or harm to yourself.

hi,
if you left it without work for a long term, the loading motor may be struck, if so a contact cleaner spray is helpful to start the motor, spry it very carefully on the grove of the loading motor, don't allow the liquid to go on the head, give power, (do not power switch ON), just push the eject button,try several times, then will be OK, if the motor failed, must replace it.

Hi,
I have the same unit...when it is "ON" ,plug the power cord off and than try to open the cassette door..
the head mechanism keeps the cassette in,power off will release it..
let me know if it does not work out..

as soon as the power button is pressed it goes to standby mode n unable to play.

I also have a 96' shasta RV 26' E350 Ford chassis... ABS light comes on whenever it feels like it. We have 20,000 miles on the RV. We love the Motorhome but am constantly worried about the light. Our mechanic said not to worry about it.. Not worth the expense to fix it. anyone have a clue? grandmanomi

Solution: In a fit of disgust, I threw the thing in the trash dumpster! So there! I'll just go buy another cheap one.

power problem of power amplifier .
if you can open the cover we can give try to solve this problem.

Unit probably has bad drive motor

bypass the power from the main point after the capacitor via a 20ohms resistor...it may work.
