Pushing on the rear of the grey plastic tray, gently slide it out of the front of the player. It should slide easily, without resistance.

Support the tray as it comes out the front. It can be removed completely if the tray is lifted to clear the lugs at the back, but this isn’t necessary.

Note that the belt to be replaced can be seen through the gap in the centre of the tray, going under the left hand side.

While here, there may be small amounts of fluff or dust in the transport mechanism. These can be removed, although be careful not to get the laser lens dirty.
