Troubleshooting

Pressing the Eject button does not open the disc tray.

Is the CRW8824IX drive powered up?

If not, go to the previous symptom, “The drive does not power up” (P. 22).

Are you using the CD writing software?

If so, your CD writing software may lock the tray once the disc is loaded. If this is the case, try using the eject command from within the software. For more information, refer to the documentation that came with it. First close the software, and then try ejecting the disc.

Can you open the tray after attempting to restart the computer?

Try this sequence: Close all application programs, restart the computer, and press the Eject button on the drive’s front panel.

Manually open the tray as a last resort (P. 21).

If this trouble occurs frequently, the drive’s spring-loaded mechanism may be damaged. Consult your nearest Yamaha dealer for repair.

The disc keeps being ejected.

Has the disc been placed on the disc tray correctly? If not, place the disc properly and close the tray.

Has dust or dirt collected on the disc surface?

If so, clean the disc surface using an air spray or by wiping using a lint-free cloth. Remember to wipe the surface from the center of the disc to the edge. Be careful not to scratch it.

Does the drive accept other disc (audio CD, CD-ROM, blank CD-R disc and so on)?

When the drive does not accept a specific disc, the disc has a problem such as scratches on its surface, warping or other reasons. If the drive does not accept any disc, consult your nearest Yamaha dealer for repair.

The disc is not loaded.

Does the drive automatically open the tray to eject the disc?

If so, go to the previous symptom, “The disc keeps being ejected.”

Are you attempting to load a disc supported by the drive? Make sure that the disc is supported by the drive (P. 5).

Has dust or dirt collected on the disc surface?

If so, clean the disc surface using an air spray or by wiping using a lint-free cloth. Remember to wipe the surface from the center of the disc to the edge. Be careful not to scratch it.
