If you are unable to get the tray of the dvd player open either the player will have a hole in front for you to stick a (I use a straightened out paper clip) into and press in towards the dvd player. It will manually open the drive so you can retrieve your dvd or there will be enough of a lip on the tray door you can grab it and pull it open manually. Then I would try unplugging the player and waiting a few minutes and plugging it back in and you might get lucky and it may never happen again. Good luck . Hope it works.

To fix locked disc tray on a TH-M606, TH-M603, TH-M505, TH-M501, TH-M303, TH-M301:
While the system is turned off. Press and hold the STOP button and Disc 1 EJECT button at the same time (only 2 seconds). If done correctly, it should turn on and read "UNLOCKED" on the display. Doing these steps again will re-lock the system. A great way to prevent someone from using the dvd player.

Region code

Hi,

To my knowledge, due to firmware design, most JVC region locked DVD players can not be unlocked with entry codes through the remote. While some JVC models could be unlock with a firmware update or a PC interface neither of which is available for a TH-P3.

Im sorry but thats just it for this model.

Alternately, a long method is to convert/copy the DVD disc itself from any region to whatever region your JVC is locked into. There are freewares just for this purpose. An example is DVD SHRINK 3.2.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Tempremental playing dvds

In response to your jvc-a75r DVD player, sometimes the solution might be less complex than it may appear. Had the same problem with my Samsung s321,the machine refused to read DVD's but would play CD's no problem. Simply opened up the cover(usually)4-6 small screws, and found my dog's hair inside of the player covering the laser eye.Electrostatic ionization attracts dust,etc. into the player remarkably well sometimes. Carefully used a cotton swap to remove debri. PLayerworked fine afterwards ...Good luck!
