Abstract
A method for operating a disk player to eliminate jammed disks and allow continued playing. When it is sensed that a disk after completing playing has not been returned to its magazine, the disk moving mechanism is operated to try to move the disk in the direction so as to pull it out of the magazine. This usually frees the disk and allows playing of the next disk in sequence. If, however, the disk is not then returned to the magazine, the player is disabled.
