Is this a used player? Maybe the mechanics needs to be cleaned from old lubricants and new lubricants added. I'm sure @restorer-john can give some advice.

Relubing is always a good idea.
I also would double check the sensors that detect if the drawer is open or closed, maybe one of those sends spurious signals.
It's a nice one, would be a shame if it ended at the recycling:

Lithium grease is what i use mostly, but as long as it is long term stable you could use anything.
It's not rocket surgery and probably not the cause of your problem.
I probably would whip out the old scope and see if the start/end switch signals make sense. Also it's worthwhile to get schematics and check all the voltages.

The XR-Z70 is a beauty! I have a working one.
Here is the Service Manual of the Toshiba XR-Z70.
I scanned it 10 years ago when I found out that SMs were not available any more.
As I wrote on the cover it also is suited for the
Kenwood DP-1100B, Uher X-2, Luxman DX-103, Alpine AD-7200
(the Luxman and Alpine also have very nice designs)
and NAD-5200.
The XR-Z70 was built from 1983 to 1985 as far as I remember.
Strange that a corporate group like Toshiba who supplied this player
to other companies did completely withdraw from the consumer
audio market already in the late eighties. I think later it was "only" CD-Rom drives.

The Olympus TAOHS-L / OPH Laser unit used in this player was also wide spread.

Hello. I solved the reading problem. The diode reading still needs to be adjusted a little. The problem was a 12 k resistor on the plate that feeds the diode, it was simply missing. I don't know how it happened. I still have to solve the problem of the drawer that opens when I open the CD player from the power button. I still have a plug on the power supply board that gives double the voltages it should be. Thank you all for the advice. A good day.
Lucky you, you found it
Sometimes they just burn away, check out this 3D printer boards SMD fuse F2, it just evaporated:
It was a self healing polyprop SMD1206, 5V, 2A, cause was a short. The user said there was a bang and some magic smoke.
However, it did what it was supposed to do, protected the 5V µcontroller area. Easy to fix too.
Also i remember a Grundig Fine Arts amp: their power supply provided 24V behind a rectifier, and they had to break it down to 5V. They used a diode to reduce to 16V, then a 0.25W resistor to burn some more energy and as a fuse. You could tell that it was indeed supposed to be a fuse because it stood alone and far from the board and was one of those that don't actually burn, but just smoke harmlessly away. After that some voltage regulator burned away the rest and provided 5V.
The resistor was gone, just the legs left, flapping in the breeze. The user reported a pop, some magic smoke and then the amp stopped working.
The resistor was supposed to protect the 5V section, but over 30 years or so it burned away it's 0.25W and aged, and eventually failed during normal operation. Easy fix too, albeit with a regular resistor, because those special non-burning ones are hard to find these days.
Anyway, glad you fixed your CD player, would have been a shame really.
I'm looking for a CDX 810, 910 or 1010 in silver for my own collection, around the same time:
I hope for one as good as this one:

The DV6400 is beautiful.I'm picking up a Marantz DV9600 in a week or two. Curious to see and listen to it compared to my DV6400.
With the silver player on top op a black Sony UBP-X800M I hope to be getting Yamaha R-N2000A vibes.
I mostly wanted to get a silver player to match the rest of my vintage setup but the DV6400 is about twice as expensive compared to what I paid for it 1-2 years ago. So instead I dug into the different models available.
Pics when it arrives.
Current setup.

Probably goes without saying that I'd love to have a nice Yamaha single-disc CDP.
There are a couple of Yamaha CDPs here (dump finds, of course) but they're a motley lot.
This one I actually got rid of It worked, but it was pretty low-end, so I left it on the freebie pile at a regional "antique electronics" swapmeet years ago.

Still rolling with my old Cambridge Audio Azur 540C player which I use as a transport. Works so well that the only reason I now would have to change is FOMO.
