Emergency Eject
This drive has a function that allows the CD to be ejected manually, if this becomes necessary in an
emergency such as failure of the drive or a power outage.
Follow the following procedures in such a case.
Caution
This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it excessively will
cause malfunction.
Turn the power to OFF.
1.
Insert a fine tipped object into the emergency eject hole.

2.
Pull the front door to open it all the way,
then grip the disc tray between thumb and forefinger and gently pull it
straight out.
If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a steel binder clip
or spring clamp to pull it out.
3.
Emergency Eject Hole
The structure inside the emergency eject hole is as shown below. When you push a thin, stiff
wire into the hole, it presses one of the vanes around the gear, thus rotating the gear for ejecting
the tray. Repeating this action three times or so ejects the tray out.
