CD/DVD Operation
Emergency ejection of DVD and CD media
In the event that a media cannot be ejected with the load/eject button and when no
software is controlling the drive, an emergency eject operation will open the media
tray. Insert a small metal poker, such as an unbent paper clip, into the opening
until it presses against the manual eject mechanism. You will feel the mechanism
eject the media tray. Use this method only when the load/eject button is not working.
Warning! Make sure the drive has been off for a minute or longer, that
the disc has stopped spinning in the drive and that the power is
unplugged before attempting the emergency ejection procedure.

• Do not use or store CD/DVD media in dirty or dusty locations; in loca-
tions subject to extreme temperatures; in warm or humid locations where
condensation may form; or in locations exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not use cracked, warped or damaged CD/DVD media. The media may
break up inside the drive, damaging it and possibly leading to injury.
• Do not touch or write on the disc surface.
• Do not drop, bend or flex the discs, or place any heavy objects on them.
• Do not apply any labels that may come loose inside the drive.
• Store cartridges in their protective sleeves when they are not being used.
