Manually Ejecting a Disc in an Emergency

If the disc tray fails to open for some reason, such as malfunction of the internal spring-loaded mechanism or power outage, it can be opened manually. You should only attempt to eject a disc manually as a last resort. Malfunctions may occur if you do this too frequently.

nThis operation requires a large paper clip (with a diameter of 2 millimeters or less). Straighten the clip so that you can insert it into the drive’s Eject hole.
