Panasonic DMR-E100H DVD recorder/player ......

121.216.100.6

... I have the Panasonic DMR E100H in our main bedroom. The tray is now open and won't close with the commands on either the remote or the unit.

I have unplugged it from the power then reconnected it to let it do a system check but to no avail.

I can close the tray manually but it opens as soon as I let it go.

It makes no difference if a disc is loaded or not.

Ideas anyone?

If something significant in the drive mechanism has failed, most players will go into a "fail-safe" mode where they will attempt to ensure that you don't get a disc stuck in the player. They do that by automatically opening the drawer.

Time to get your Panasonic repaired, or replaced.

  ...Thanks for your reply. I thought I�d ask in case there was some type of quirk that was easily user fixed.
  
  Wifey now knows she needs to take it to the repairer :o)
  
  Cheers.
