*_SONY DEMO RESET PROBLEM-FIX FOR WHEN COLD RESET DOESN'T WORK!_* There seems to be multiple reasons for this failure/problem... In my case it was the tape deck that was constantly trying to eject and not the cd I have the SONY MHC-GX570XM model and the cold reset only works about 1% of the time for my issue. Until I noticed something inside the tape deck between the wheels facing you, there is a tiny black tab on both A/B decks that was set differently in each deck when it was in demo shutoff loop. For me, this always gets triggered after a power outage and the machine resets itself and gets stuck in this demo loop. It begins making a clicking sound and powers off instantly. It has something do with a relay if you want to get if repaired properly. It rarely has anything to do with the elasticity of the band as some repair guys will tell you. It seems there are multiple reasons for this issue... *_FIX_* There's a little black tab that is about the size of a tic-tac inside both tape decks that is like a lock mechanism and when this happens, the deck that keeps trying to work has its tab slightly to the right BUT THE OTHER DECK it's set differently. It's tight to the left. If you push the tab to the left in the cassette deck that is spinning, and hold the tab in place while turning the machine on, or resetting it, VERY TRICKY TO DO, It will reset/stick in the lefthand position and quit turning off and doing that Sony demo thing.... It'll work fine again. You'll need a screwdriver for this. The tab is damn tough and awkward to push and hold back in place and it's doubly tough to do the reset (stop/play/cd1 trick) at the same time. But I've done this twice now after a power outage and worked properly. It still has the faulty relay and wants to cycle the tape deck for a minute when you power the machine on, but doesn't start that Sony demo- shutoff until there's an outage again. YOU MUST HOLD THE TAB IN PLACE UNTIL (it will fight you lol) THAT CYCLE ENDS about a half minute or something. Then it locks in place. In my case, I just have to open the tape deck door and it's on the face of the machine between but lower than the revolving spindles that your tape turns on, looking right at you. A little flat rectangular tab... No need to open the machine up or anything, but it's set kind of low and awkward to reach *_2:14_**_ OF THE VIDEO, JUST ABOVE THE CASSETTE HEADS, SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT OF THE GOLD PIN, YOU CAN SEE THOSE BLACK RECTANGULAR TABS FOR YOURSELF._*

(Even if pressing the eject button, the message “LOCKED” is displayed on the screen and the CD tray is locked) 5. To release this mode, press two buttons of "stop" AND "eject" for 5 seconds. 6. The message “UNLOCKED” is displayed on the screen and the CD tray is unlocked.

It's Actually Pretty Simple: All You Do Is, On A Left Side There's A Selection Of Source Choices CD, TAPE A-B, RADIO, AUX Input, Etc... You Want To Press The TAPE A-B Button, It Will Switch The Unit To TAPE Mode ( To Select Between Tape Deck A and Tape Deck B, Press The TAPE A-B Button Again Until You Get To Tape A Or Tape B, I Usually Use Tape Deck B ). After In TAPE Mode, All You Do Is, Insert a Cassette Tape In Either Tape Deck B Or A, Whichever You Selected, Then On A Unit Itself Or On a Remote Control Use The Same Buttons You Would For The CD Player. ( Play, Rewind, Fast-Forward, Stop, Next Track, Previous Track, Yes, This Unit Has The Ability To Jump To Next/ Previous Tracks On Tape, Just Like On CD player ) To Record On Tape, Insert a Blank Audio Tape Into TAPE B, Then On A Left Side Of The Unit, There's a CD-Syncro and Record Button. Use These Buttons To Copy From CD ( CD-SYNCRO Button ) Or Record Button, Next To CD-SYNCRO Button To Record From This Unit's Tape Deck A, Radio, CD, Or Auxiliary Input.
