Hi all,

I have had this dvd player since the end of 1999 and purchased an extended warranty which expired in December of 2004. Unfortunately, now I am having some troubles with it. When I powered up the unit a disc was already in the machine but when I tried to eject the disc a message came up on the led display of the unit saying "Locked." I have never experienced this before. I looked in the manual and it said to "Contact your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility."

I was curious if anyone has had this problem before? Also I was wondering if there was something else I could do to fix this problem or do I have to send it to a Sony dealer? I am looking for an inexpensive solution if possible. By the way the disc that is inside the player works fine. Thanks for any help!
