    http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/ELECTRO... Here's the link to get an Owner's manual.

    Okay, so with respect to Stubbornguy's solution...it might work but it might damage the device. According to the manual it specifically states "Caution: DO NOT REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE HOUSING USING A SCREWDRIVER" Probably because of the digital devices inside that would get ruined with the magnetism that is on the screwdriver. It also states to keep this device away from magnetic fields.

    However, as to the problem it may have to do with the disc as Stubbornguy states. The manual states NOT to use "Stabilizer CD's" or "Printable recordable CD's". The latter is what I was about to use. Evidently the adhesive on the printable label causes the CD to stick in the unit and cause the unit to malfunction. According to the manual it will take a technician (more likely tech's tools) to open the unit and remove the CD, without further damaging the device. I hope this helps.

Look near the disk tray for a little tiny pin whole and take a paper clip and bend it straight now poke it into that whole until it open this is the manual way of ejecting disks if all else fails

SOURCE: cd will not eject. Keeps giving message "Now OPC"

To remove a stuck CD from Tascam CC222 MKII

This solved the "Now OPC" problem



1. Unplug unit

2. Remove the top cover, (3 screws on each side and 3 on the back, lift cover).

3. Plug in unit.

4. Power on the unit to observe the drive spindle spinning clockwise, (1" disc on top of drive).

5. Turn off unit, do not unplug at this time.

6. Use a small screwdriver to prevent the drive spindle from spinning.

7. Power on the unit preventing the spin.

8. In approximately 10 seconds the display will read "Disc Error" and the CD tray will open.

9. Remove the screwdriver and the disc.

10. Turn off the unit and unplug.

11. Replace the cover.

12. Use a better quality disc.

NOW OPC error my Tascam CD-RW750 Only using a cd-rw

All I can think of is to try other makes of blank discs. Also, if your machine ever comes up 'ERROR' and you have no control of any functions including powering it off or on-remove the plug from the wall and wait about a minute, then plug it back in.

Getting opc fail message

hi, please read this link: http://www.fixya.com/support/t8055461-philips
if you have been using your old media and this happened with new media the problem is the record speed of new disk. if you are using the same old media maybe your recorder needs an OPU cleaning.

My Epson Artisan 730 Printer keeps ejecting its CD/DVD Print tray, saying that there is a cd there. There, of course isn't. Can anyone help me? I really need to print.

My husband adjusted the CD/DVD tray, then we selected the icon that looks like a wrench on the printer's message window, then "restore default settings" on it. Turned computer off then on again, and it FINALLY started working again :)

Disc won't initialize or record, keeps saying no disc or opc erro

I suggest you try cleaning the lens...

If the wrong disc was inserted, say a music disc, there would surely be a message to that effect. If no such message is displayed I would guess the unit is faulty.

Discs will not play.

Could be some dirt on laser lenses. Try to clean it.
