A compact disc player and a method and an article of manufacture for controlling ejection of a compact disc are provided. The compact disc player includes a temperature sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a temperature of the compact disc player utilizing a temperature sensor. The compact disc player further includes a controller operably communicating with the temperature sensor. The controller is configured to determine an ejection time interval value based on the signal. The controller is further configured to energize a motor coupled to a drive mechanism for a time internal corresponding to the ejection time interval value to induce the drive mechanism to move a compact disc to a predetermined position outwardly from a housing.

Compact disc player and method for controlling ejection of a compact disc from the compact disc player

A method of analyzing a digital media by a digital media player and displaying the condition of the digital media whether or not the player ejects the digital media, provides useful information for the end user. Preferably, an ASIC of the digital media player measures jitter, HF and BLER and inputs the measured values into a microprocessor of the player. If the measured values are greater than respective pre-established threshold values, the microprocessor tabulates and stores running averages to an electronic memory. If the running averages are excessive, the player will deliver an error message to the end user preferably on an electronic display of the digital media player.
