HELP! stuck DVD sliding around inside my DVD player!?

Question

while I unknowingly had a favorite DVD in its dvd player, I had to position the player ( i was hooking up another device) in such a way that i turned it slightly upside down. Now the dvd is inside the innards of the machine, sliding around in there. I can hear it. I can still open and close the door of the DVD player, but the DVD is lost inside. Without taking it to a repair shop, is there a way to get it out? Its a used player I bought secondhand, no warranty, but works GREAT. Nice player and I really want my favorite DVD back! 
I've tried sliding it back to where the door is, hoping it will fall back into the round place where its supposed to be but no luck. I dont want to damage my machine or the DVD......thanks.....

Unplug the unit from the AC outlet.  Remove the screws at the edges of the cover.   Slide the cover off...etc.  Don't touch any of the electronics, especially near where the power cord goes in the unit.  There may be high voltage there, even with the unit unplugged.

I have had something similar, different start, but same ending to here. What I did was unplug the unit, remove the screws from around the base that were holding the cabinet cover in place, removed the cover then found the DVD, replaced cover and screws and carried on.

You'll have top open up the case. Should just be a matter of unscrewing the screws on the bottom and removing the top of the case.
