How to Use the Discs, Emergency Eject

How to Use the Discs

When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs, DVD discs or CD-RW discs, don’t attach any stickers or labels to the discs. It could cause read and write errors, but data on the disc may be lost due to damage to the disc itself.

The Discs in this unit operate at a very high speed! DO NOT use damaged, cracked or warped discs. The drive’s optical unit may be damaged if they break.

DO NOT use non-standard discs. NON-standard discs may not play or store data properly.

Emergency Eject

This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this becomes necessary such as failure of the drive or a power outage.

NOTE: Don’t use this feature except in an emergency.

1)Turn the power to OFF.

2)Poke a fine-tipped object (such as a straightened heavy duty paper clip) into the small hole above the eject button. The front door will pop open and the disk tray will come partway out.

3)Pull the front door to open it all the way, then grip the disc tray between thumb and forefinger and gently pull it straight out.

NOTE: This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency.

Using it excessively will cause malfunction.

*If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a steel binder clip or spring clamp to pull it out.
