Power off the unit. Under the right corner of the drive tray is a small hole (see pic). Find a paper clip that fits the hole. Straighten the paper clip and slowly push it in the hole. The drive tray gears will begin turning forcing the tray open. Gently pull tray all the way out. Power unit back up and see if it starts to respond again.

I don't know if it will completely fix the issue for sure but it is worth a try. I have had good results using this method if the drive is not truly broken.

Nakamichi cd cassette player 1 not spinning discs

There's a Music Bank 7-disc player in use in my bedroom these days. Nice unit, but they used to come in for service once in a while- from what I could tell, these units don't 'park' the CD drawers on a soft power off- they simply shut down. When powered up again, they sometimes let the disc last in play slide off the tray & jam the machine. I've had no issues, as long as I always hit stop, wait for it to park, and then shut off. The analog output's sound has been very good (has a coax out as well).

Dvd is stuck in tv/dvd combo

here you can mess the unit up completely if your not carefull,,some of the many different types of system unit have a small hole on the door itself,carefully power on then push a straightened paperclip into this hole,,if you can find one that is,,your only other options would be to use a very flat knife and try to time pressure on the door in conjunction with the power on button the door itself is ,or can be operated by internal cog mechanisms which can break easily--good luck--Davey

Cd is in cdram and not going out

Hi, you need to power off your mac, hold the power button for 10sec & than turn it on, while its coming on - on the grey screen you have hit the eject button a couple of times & as it starts up your cd/dvd will eject out. Its just a cd/dvd hang which does happen offen. So noting to worry unless your drive has some hardware issues. Trying doing this, if yet does not work we shall try a hardware test to figure out if all ok. Good luck.

Loaded a cd to upgrade firmware, firmware would not load. eject button would not eject. read manual, says to push eject at the same time you plug in the electric cord,still would not eject. Any...

Please try in this way.

Disconnect power.
Connect power back, and keep REPEATEDLY pressing the eject button while you connect. If still no ject press power on button while you keep hitting the ehect button. You need to press eject on the unit, do not use the remote.

If that does not work, then the unit must be taken apart.

Can't eject Install CD Mac OSX Panther

Hi GInette, sorry to hear you are having problems,
here is how you eject a disk that is stuck in the optical drive of a Mac.
Shut down the Mac.
press the power on button
VERY QUICKLY, press the mouse button, the trackpad button and hold it down firmly until the disk ejects.
This is a built-in hardware command independent of your system and always works when doe right, unless the optical drive is no longer recognized by the Mac or if something is inhibiting it's ejection.
Good luck

Avh-p5700 pioneer

My first suggestion is to not purchase "used" electronics from eBay. I bought the same kind of unit from eBay... and mine is broken too. I got a cell phone, car stereo, and a remote.. they were all not working properly when I received them.

Did you try the restart button. It is a small, pin size button on the right-side of the unit near the 4-way select buttons. My player wouldn't eject a cd either, and when I pushed the restart button with a pin, the cd ejected and the unit was ok for playing cds... that's about it
