There is a belt that drives the tray ejecting mechanism. Most like the belt is worn or hardened and therefore has lost its grip on the wheel that it is sitting on preventing from the tray to eject... So my guess the belt needs replacing...
Try greasing the tracks.

It's the belt from the spindle motor to the gear. It's worn and can't grip the spindle anymore. If you elp it to start off it works. Open the unit, remove the cd tray and it's underneath at the front. You can replace with a similar size elastic band.

Hi,
The CD drawer mechanism needs a new belt. They have a motor that drives the tray mechanism, and there's a small belt that drives the main gear so that pushing the drawer in gently to close it doesn't damage anything. However, once that belt breaks/wears out, the drawer will stay in whatever position it was last in.

hello marc you have a dirty laser,blocked sensor or even a misaligned condition try this clean the lens put a disc and turn it off with the tray inside wait about a minute and turn it on saludos

Without knowing the model number, this is pure speculation:
There are some Sony units that can easily get "out of time" in the loading mechanism. This can be caused by a broken trace in a ribbon cable or a defective sensor. Some models can get out of alignment or timing if you push the drawer rather than pushing the close button. Please update this with the model number, and I should be able to give you more details.
Thanks,
Dan
Testimonial: "Thank you for such a quick reply. We looked all over the machine but can't find letter or model numbers. It's probably 10 years old!"

The tray belt raises the laser to proper focal length at the end of closing the drawer. This demands more grip from the belt. If the belt is sloppy, it will slip at this point, even though the drawer is shut. Took two years of repeatedly cleaning lasers to notice this.

I know this is a very dated thread but I have the exact same model Luxman as you have and I'm experiencing the same problem with the CD tray. Did you ever resolve it by opening it up on your own? I would like to fix it myself instead of spending $70 for someone else to do it for me.
Thanks in advance.
