Loading Discs into the PowerFile

There are three options for loading discs into the PowerFile: using the front panel buttons, via the MFX Finder Interface or through the MFX preference pane.

Load Option A: From the PowerFile Front Panel Buttons

1.Press the button on front panel.

Press the LOAD button once for single disc insertion (if you only have one disc that you want to load at this time), or twice for sequential multi-disc insertion (this option will allow you to load several discs, one at a time, into the PowerFile without having to press the LOAD button before each insertion). When the LOAD button is pressed once, the display will read "PLEASE LOAD DISC". If you press the LOAD button twice, the display will read "PLEASE LOAD DISCS.”

2.Load disc(s).

When the LOAD button is pressed, the internal "gate" in the Load/Unload slot will automatically open, allowing the first disc to be inserted. With the "data" side of the disc on the left, and the "label" side on the right, gently place one (1) disc into the slot. DO NOT PUSH OR FORCE THE DISC INTO THE SLOT. The disc will be automatically lowered into the carousel, and the gate will close (to prevent any other discs from being inserted before the PowerFile is ready).
