My husband is out of town and I’m SO confused. …but I want to solve this myself so for any advice… please be simple 
My DVD Recorder will not stay off. It says BYE and stays off for 30 seconds, then reads STOP, then says U61, then C40 for just a second, and then flashes the little squares for a while before saying BYE and starting all over. When it is on you can hear the disk loudly spinning around in it.
I can’t eject the disk, not even with the little “stop/channel up” trick. I’ve reset it and unplugged it.
There is a CD in it and it is just a blank CD I was recording on this morning.
Please help.
Thanks,
tara
