Operation

Manually Ejecting a Disc in an Emergency

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

Manual Eject hole

Paper clip

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

1Power down the computer and the CRW8824SX drive.

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.

nA straightened 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.
