Removing the CD-RW drive

1

Turn off the power of the AW16G.

As described in “Turning the power off (shut down)”
(

p. 12), turn off the power of the AW16G. For
safety’s sake, also unplug the AC adaptor and the
AW16G from the electrical outlet.

2

Turn the AW16G over on its face.

Be careful not to drop the AW16G on the floor, or
damage the components of the top panel.

3

Remove the CD-RW drive cover.

Remove the black screw that holds the CD-RW
drive cover in place (“3” in the diagram at left).

Do not lose the screw that you removed.

4

Pull the CD-RW drive out of the slot.

Remove the two screws that fasten the CD-RW
drive in place, and pull out the CD-RW drive (“4” in
the diagram at left).

Do not lose the screws that you removed.
Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp metal edge.

5

Attach the CD-RW drive cover.

Using the black screw that you removed in step 3,
attach the CD-RW drive cover.

Using the CD-RW drive

The CD-RW drive installed in the AW16G is shipped
with a protective pad on the disc tray to prevent it from
being damaged during transportation. Before you use the
AW16G, you must remove this protective pad.
To insert a disc into the CD-RW drive, press the eject
switch. The disc tray will open. Place the disc on the tray,
and gently push the disc tray in.
Note
Note

The disc tray is ejected electrically. If the disc tray is not
ejected when you press the eject switch, turn on the
power of the AW16G and press the eject switch once
again.

Removing a CD in an emergency

If you are unable to remove the disc by pressing the eject
switch, insert a wire of less than 2 mm diameter (such as
a straightened paper clip) into the eject hole, and push
gently. However, pressing the eject switch will not eject
the disc when the AW16G is in the following states, so
do not use this method in such cases.
When the AW16G's power is “STANDBY“
When the disc is being accessed (data is being read,
written, or erased)
While in CD PLAY mode

This removal method is for use in emergencies such as
when you cannot remove the disc due to a malfunction of
the disc tray or a power failure. Do not use this method
unnecessarily, since doing so will damage the CD-RW
drive.
