I have a Pioneer DV-563A that has been wonderful for the last year or so. Howevever, last Thursday evening I turned it on to listen to a CD and it tells me "NO DISC". So, I reseat the disc, close the door... same thing. I try another CD. I try a burned CD. I try a DVD. I try several of each. Same thing over and over. These are all discs that this player has played in the past. Now, I can get into the DVD player's menu fine. It outputs video, but just will not recognize that it has a disc in the tray.

Ideas? I really cannot afford to replace this player right now. I just spent the weekend snowboarding in Tahoe and am flying to Seattle in 2 weeks to visit a friend for a week. My funds are tied up, but losing my ability to listen to my CDs via my Axioms is really bumming me out!
