5.4. Manually Ejecting a Disk in an Emergencey
If the disc tray fails to open for some reason, such as a power outage, it can be opened
manually.
You should only attempt to eject a disc manually as a last resort.
Malfunctions may occur if you do this too frequently.
1. Power down the computer and your new Yamaha drive.
2. Find a pin-like tool with a diameter of 2mm or less to fit through the Manual Eject
hole on the drive’s front panel.
Important Note: A straightened paper clip is ideal for this purpose.
3. Push the tool gently into the Manual Eject hole until the spring-loaded mechanism
ejects the tray and disc.
