An error may occur if, after the tray has been closed

 

 

or operation has been resumed from the standby/

 

 

hibernation modes, the drive is accessed before the

off. Also, an error may occur if the drive is ac-

To remove a disc when the computer is powered

 

 

off, insert a sharp object such as the bent-out tip of

 

 

a paper clip into the emergency hole. Pushing it

 

 

completely to the end will free the tray so that it

 

 

can be pulled out.

When using a software such as B’s CLiP that con- trols the disc removal, remove the disc while re- ferring to the software’s operating instructions.

If a disc with fingerprints or other dirt is used, you may not be able to remove it. Use a clean disc. ( page 6)
