There's a few things you can try. Turn off unit, unplug from AC for 5 minutes or so, plug back in, turn unit on, hit eject/open. OR..same as above, but hold the eject/open button, then turn unit on.
Sometimes a combination of these odd procedures actually work. Sometimes holding the stop button, and hitting eject/open works too. Hope this is helpful.
I was really determined to find a fix after talking to a Sharp rep who advised me to send the machine to a repair center miles away - at my expense, of course! I'm glad I found this site.

Found that 'rc's' solution of on-off and trying lots of button pushes worked. Now, I have a new system to play and record with, how shall I use the 'old' stand-alone' DVD player??? LOL
Unplugging for 5 minutes, then plug in and turn on while holding the STOP button on the remote and pressing the EJECT button on the actual player worked for me.
