Operation

Notes

•The disc tray will not open if the computer is not turned on. With the CRW2200 drive turned on, pressing the Eject button will not open the disc tray if ATAPI commands prohibit ejecting a disc, such as during data reading.

•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.

2Find a pin-like tool with a diameter of 2mm 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 tray and disc.

4Turn on your computer to close the disc tray.
