I have a onkyo dx-360 cd player with "mech error" message. How do I find the slot to open the cd tray?

SOURCE: cd tray mechanics

It can be repaired but in all of my years in consumer repair, I dread the CD/DVD tray alignments the worst.

There are many things involved in getting them to operate without fail. Using the mfgs documentation you can get them up and running but most of the time they failed because something is amiss to begin with. So you spend an hour getting everything setup and it will work once or twice but them fail. Only to find out that a location sensor is bad or a gear is missing a tooth....

SOURCE: CD/DVD Tray open; Close Tray to print

This solution is taken from the HP website.

Follow these steps to print on a CD or DVD.

1. Make sure that the CD/DVD tray is completely closed (completely inserted into the product).
   NOTE: Make sure that the side of the tray that holds the CD/DVD is inserted into the printer first.
2. In HP Photosmart Essential, click the Print tab.
3. Click Printer Settings and then click Advanced to open the printer properties.
4. In the properties, click the Features tab.
5. In Paper Type , select Printable CD 120mm .
6. In Source , select the CD/DVD tray .
7. Save the settings and then again attempt to print on the CD or DVD.

SOURCE: Onkyo 6 disc cd changer DX-380 has CD stuck under carousel

This has just happened to us. Often when the changer tries to select a CD on random play, it somehow knocks one CD off the carousel, usually on top of the other 5 CDs and then you can retrieve it easily. This time it knocked it down behind the carousel so the drawer could not close. We left the drawer open, carefully took the player out and tipped it upside down and then tipped it forward. We then closed the drawer while it was still upside down and then turned the player back up the right way. The loose CD fell onto the carousel and we could then open it and retrieve the CD. No damage to either CD or changer and we are now listening to music again!
