I too have a Phillips but a of slightly older age, I'm guaranteed to encounter this "blocked" issue every time (on the rare occasions) I fire it up.
The Plastic tray that holds the DVD warps and so sticks in the machine. I keep a flat bladed screwdriver at hand and use it to lever down the tray when attempting to open it. So far, so good.

Have a read here. It's a Australian site but there are some UK replies. It seems to be a recurring problem with Phillips:

Rymnt, Have you thought of trying to file down the raised edge of the tray so that it doesn't catch on the tray opening?? It could possibly cure the problem for good.
Just a thought!
