Television and Home Theater

I turned on my tv and had the message "eject T" -on the screen - tried to eject tape but tv turned off automatically in less than 30 seconds, switching tv light to otr - repeated this several times with same result - can I remove the tape manually without damaging the player?

This unit went into the demo mode with scrolling info pertaining to this model. How can I get it out of this mode? I feel like I've hit every key combination on the remote to no avail.
