Problem
Cannot remove the disc.
Writing fails when writing to
CD-R/RW.
Cause/Solution
t When the drive is off, pressing the Eject button does not
open the top cover. Turn the drive on, or use the manual
eject lever. Refer to "Names and Functions of Parts" on
page 12.
t If the HOLD (inhibit inadvertent operation) switch on the
side of the drive is in the HOLD position, move it to the
other position.
t While writing is in progress, you cannot remove the disc by
pressing the Eject button. Remove the disc by following the
instructions for the writer software you are using. Refer to
the manual provided with the writer software.
t The computer may have hung for some reason. Turn the
drive off and back on, and then restart the computer.
t If the CRX10U is connected to a USB hub (including
keyboard hubs), reconnect the drive directly to a USB port
on the computer.
t Set the write speed setting to 4 if it is not already (the
recommended write speed for this drive is 4 for CD-RW
and CD-R discs). The write speed setting can be changed
through the writer software.
t Disable any screen saver that may be running on the
computer.
t Shut down any software that may be running, other than the
writer software. Other software running while writing data
can cause the data transfer rate to drop considerably, which
can cause the writing process to fail (buffer underrun).
t Shut down any resident disc utilities or other utilities that are
supposed to speed up disc access.
t If "on-the-fly" writing (copying data disc to disc from a CD-
ROM drive to the CRX10U) is enabled, disable it. Instead,
copy the data to the hard disk first, and then write from the
hard disk. On-the-fly writing is affected by many factors,
such as CPU speed, memory capacity and transfer speed
of the reading drive, so write errors are highly system-
dependent.
