Hi,

If you have a Sony HB-F500P, would you please be so kind to do the following test for me?

- turn on the machine without any disk in the drive or cartridge inserted.
- when the drive starts spinning (to check for a disk), the LED goes on. Press RESET

Tell me what happens then.

It should either:
- boot again normally
- hang with a black screen

This test shouldn't take more than 15 seconds, so please try it for me! Thanks in advance.
