If you do throw it - throw it at me - they are great machines and well worth fixing!You can get the disc out, but I don't have access to the service manual right now to get the exact derects. I'll post how to do it as soon as I get to it.
Follow Ups:
1. Remove the three hexagon socket bolts from the mechanism deck cover. Remove the cover.
2. Slide the right slider towards the front of the machine and lift the loading assembly.
3. Push the tray assembly forward from either of the two rear wings. You will feel some resistance like gears turning. That's ok.
4. The tray assembly will come through the front slot with the DVD. Remove the DVD.This is an incredible player with the VSE mods. Unbeatable for the price. I saw a level 5 unit sell on Audiogon last week for $1500. I would have bought it for another system had I seen the ad sooner. You can send it the either VSE US rep. They can repair the unit and apply mods for a very reasonable fee.
I replaced the optical pick-up in my unit and ran the calibration programs yesterday (it was still playing CDs but no longer recognized SACDs). Works great now.
Not just two - as we have another up in the Seattle area - address on our site.
I already had the top of the mechanism off, but by following the rest of your directions, it only took me 3 seconds to remove the DVD.Not sure why I didn't slide the slider before.
Thanks.
Allen-would putting it in the test mode or disc calibration possibly get it to open?I have the service manual and may be able to forward to Tommart.
...well before descriptions of test mode etc.Normally it involves some sort of mechical operation - not electronic - and would need to be mechcanical as he says nothing lights up electronically.
