Operation

Notes

•It may not be possible to open the disc tray while a disc is being read or written.

•Remove the disc only after the disc tray has opened fully. Otherwise, you risk damaging the drive or the disc.

Ejecting a Disc in an Emergency

If the disc tray fails to open for some reason, such as a malfunction of the internal spring-loaded mechanism or power outage, it can be opened manually.

Manual eject hole

Paper clip

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

1Shut down the computer and the CRW2200IX drive.

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

Note

A straightened large paper clip is ideal for this purpose.

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

4Turn on the CRW2200IX drive to close the disc tray.
