CD-ROM Front Panel Operational Features

A number of operational items are located on the front panel of the CD-ROM
drive:
• The headphone jack receptacle accepts a 3.5-mm diameter stereo plug.
Monitoring of audio signals is available.
• Use the volume control dial (located to the right of the headphone jack) to
adjust the sound level of the headphones.
• An emergency eject hole is located just above the volume control. It is
used to eject the caddy when the normal procedure does not work.
Power off the CD-ROM drive and remove the Phillips-head screw from
the hole. Insert the end of a large, straightened paper clip into the hole
until the caddy ejects.
• A drive busy indicator LED is located to the left of the eject button. When
this LED is blinking, it indicates drive activity. The LED stays dark
when no disc caddy is loaded in the drive. See Figure B-2 for details on
blink patterns and the status they indicate for the drive.
• The eject button works only when the CD-ROM drive is powered on. The
caddy will not eject if the CD-ROM is in an active (busy) state. After
pushing the eject button, two to three seconds will elapse before release
occurs.
