disc tray: Use the disc tray to load CDs into the drive. You can open the tray by pressing the eject button or by using the emergency eject mechanism. You can

close the tray by pressing the eject button.

Note: We strongly recommend that you do not push the tray in to close it. Please press the eject button to eject or retract the tray.

headphone jack: You can connect headphones or external speakers to this jack to listen to an audio CD being played on your TEAC drive. Use a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug. For external speakers, connect a stereo adapter to split the output into separate cables for the left and right channels. Such adapters convert a male stereo mini-jack to two female phono jacks.

volume control: Use the volume control to adjust the volume. Turn the control right to increase the volume, left to decrease. (Lower the volume before you start a CD-ROM audio program to protect your hearing and the audio speakers.)

LED indicators: The drive features two LED indicator lights on the front panel. Various operations are indicated as per the following table:

emergency eject mechanism: If the eject button fails, you can turn off the power to the CD-RW drive and insert a small, thin rod (such as a straightened paper clip) into the emergency eject mechanism opening and press firmly to eject the disc.

Caution: Do not attempt to use the emergency eject mechanism when either the Power or Busy indicator is lit or you may seriously damage the disc or the CD-RW Drive.

eject button: Press this button to open or close the disc tray. (Some CD-ROM titles disable the manual eject button and rely on software commands to eject the disc. Refer to the documentation for these titles for more information.)
