My Panasonic DVD-RA60 player is stuck in "tray is locked"mode and we cannot get the disc out. Tried unplugging, holding down the on/off button while simultaneously holding open/close and stop - nothing works and we have a library dvd in there!Went online and found manual for RA60 and there is no mention of locking dvd tray or how to deactivate setting...

Try the following: Demo mode locks the tray like child lock
The tray lock should toggle on and off . While the player is turned on, press STOP, HOME, and then TOP MENU
button on the remote to lock or unlock the tray.
Note try by pressing STOP and HOME together then TOP MENU

To get a disc out
1 Turn the player off, and disconnect the AC adaptor.
2 Reconnect the AC adaptor while pressing down (/\ underline)on the player.
3 Keep pressing down (/\ underline) on the player until the tray opens.
Also try resetting - Reset to Factory Default Settings
Good luck

There are two lock conditions for this device.

If you can't eject the disc:

Enabling removal of disc

1. Select the DVD/CD function.

2. At POWER ON condition, press and hold down the stop button and the power button on the player for at least three seconds.

(The message, "___LOCKED_" appears when the function is activated.)

If you can't operate the functions:

Enabling operation of selector and disc

1. Select the DVD/CD function.

2. At POWER ON condition, press and hold down the play button and the power button on the player for at least three seconds.
(The message, "___LOCKED_" appears when the function is activated.)

Hope this helps!

many dvd players have a small hole near the tray. if yours has this little hole just straighten out a small paper clip to form a straight piece of wire and insert the wire in the hole. That will open it up for you.

Hold stop on player and power button on remote at same time for 5 sec.

Visit the site linked above. It has details about the taking disc out in emergency, of many popular brand DVD players. Search the site by type in the "brand name" of your device, in the "Search box at the top right of the Homepage" to get gathered related posts.

Try this. This works on some brands and models.

Power up the unit. Using the remote, press and hold the 'STOP' button for about 5 seconds. Release and press the 'OK' button.

Manually pull down the front shield, then somewhat forcefully pull down the inner shield and maybe two little white pins so the tray is exposed with nothing blocking it. Have someone plug the machine in while you are holding everything out of the way and the tray should start to open. Pull your fingers out quickly so you don't block the tray from sliding out.

had the same prob with a sony dav dz it kept saying locked but after hours and hours of pressing random combinations it came off im sure it was unplug plugback in then hold power and open tray and tap stop or a combination of those buttons.i woud try it again on mine to make sure but i do not want to lock it again.

press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds to reset the player

To unlock, manually press and HOLD the open/close button & the stop button simultaneously, and HOLD them both down until the lock picture disappears.   The DVD will eject when you press the open/close button. 

 

To lock the DVD inside the machine, repeat the same step, and it will lock it inside.
