1.
With the lid on and while the unit is powered, press the eject button to open the CD tray (See
figure 1).
In the unlikely event that you are unable to eject the CD tray, you can try the following methods.
Below the right hand corner of the CD drawer is a small manual eject pin hole, inserting a pin or
straightened out paper clip into this hole should open the drawer whilst the power is applied. If
this fails then you will need to remove the Front Panel (See page
*DA_REMOVE_FRONTPANEL*) to gain access to the CD drawer front.
2.
With the drawer still open (see figure 2), place the unit into standby and then remove the power.
3.
Turn the unit upside down for easier access (see figure 3).
4.
On the underside of the CD drawer front you will see two clips (see figure 4).
5.
Figure 5 shows the front (top) and back (bottom) of the drawer front.
6.
Gently prise off the drawer front by carefully releasing the two clips (see figure 6) on the under-
side with a small flat bladed screwdriver.
7.
Turn the unit upright.
8.
Applying power to the CDROM drive will automatically close the drawer (if required).
Pin or Straighten out Paper clip (if necessary)
