Ejecting A Disc In An Emergency - Yamaha CD Recordable/Rewritable Drive CRW2200 Owner's Manual

Operation
Notes
• The disc tray will not open if the computer is not turned on. With the CRW2200E drive
powered on, pressing the Eject button will not open the disc tray if ATAPI commands prohibit
ejecting a disc, such as during data reading.
• Remove the disc only after the disc tray has opened fully. Otherwise, you risk damaging the
drive or the disc.

Ejecting a Disc in an Emergency

If the disc tray fails to open for some reason, such as a malfunction of the internal
spring-loaded mechanism or power outage, it can be opened manually.
You should attempt to eject a disc manually only as a last resort.
Malfunctions may occur if you do this too frequently.
