Hi folks --
My SD-H400 has had problems with ED (ejectile dysfunction) for some time now, but i've always been able to get it to eventually perform -- in the worst cases, by unplugging it and letting it reboot. But now i've got a disc in it and even rebooting doesn't work. Of course it is out of warranty. Anyone have any tips?
More specifically, after i stop the dvd (2x if necessary) and hit the eject button, the unit makes a sound like it's trying to eject and the display reads "opening...". This goes on for a protracted time. Then the display changes to "closing" (argghhh!) and then "loading" and the disc starts PLAYING again.
While i'm here, perhaps i can impose on you folks' kind natures and ask about a couple of other problems, although i doubt they are related to the ED? About a year ago the unit lost its ability to connect via the phone line (yes, a phone plugged into the same jack / same cord works fine). Not too big a loss, though nice if i could fix it. The biggest hassle is that it now doesn't keep its clock updated and has gradually crept ahead so that it now runs 43 minutes fast. Is it true that there is no user-accessible way to reset the clock?
So, to sum up, this well-loved but, face it, somewhat older unit is dealing with ejection problems, difficulty connecting, and clock-related issues. Maybe i should be posting on a doctor's forum?
Thanks very much for any help.
