   Gently push the tray or press the eject button to close the tray.

     The drive will begin reading the Table of Contents (TOC) data when 

it accepts the disc. The busy indicator lights up in amber while the 

drive is reading the TOC.

     When the busy indicator lights out, the drive is ready to receive 

commands, and data may be retrieved from the disc.

     After loading the CD-R or CD-RW disc, it takes a moment for the 

drive to become ready while the Program Memory Area is read.

     For subsequent drive operations, follow the instructions provided 

with the CD authoring software you are using.

Note:

The busy indicator stays lit in amber if:

     –  the disc is not properly placed on the loading tray

     –  a malfunction occurs.

In either case, eject the disc and place it in the loading tray again making 

sure that it sits properly in the tray. If doing this does not solve the 

problem and the busy indicator still remains lit in amber, consult your 

dealer or qualified service personnel.

The busy indicator also lights amber during audio play. However, this 

is not a malfunction.

Caution:

 Do not forcibly close the disc drawer. Applying excessive 

force may damage the loading mechanism. The tray’s mechanism is 

designed to operate with a “feather touch”.
