Loading & Unloading Discs
This section explains how to load and unload discs.
1 Press the [OPEN/CLOSE] button to open the disc tray.
The disc tray opens and “OPEN” appears on the display.
2 Place the disc in the center of the disc tray with the labeled side facing up.
3 Press the [OPEN/CLOSE] button again to close the disc tray.
The disc tray closes and “CLOSE” appears on the display.
If the disc tray opens again, make sure the disc is seated correctly in the disc tray.
The disc tray can also be closed by pushing it gently. Do not use excessive force to push
the tray when the CDR1000 is turned off, as this may damage the mechanism.
4 To unload a disc, stop the current operation, press the [OPEN/CLOSE] button
and remove the disc when the disc tray is fully open.
The following table lists the disc-related display messages and their meanings.
