5.4. Manually Ejecting a Disk in an Emergencey

If the disc tray fails to open for some reason, such as a power outage, it can be opened manually.

Paper clip

You should only attempt to eject a disc manually as a last resort. Malfunctions may occur if you do this too frequently.

1.Power down the computer and your new Yamaha drive.

2.Find a pin-like tool with a diameter of 2mm or less to fit through the Manual Eject hole on the drive’s front panel.

Important Note: A straightened paper clip is ideal for this purpose.

3.Push the tool gently into the Manual Eject hole until the spring-loaded mechanism ejects the tray and disc.
