FRONT PANEL - INSERTING AN MO DISK
Assuming you have an MO drive installed, the disk is inserted thus:
WRITE PROTECT SWITCH
(This side)
WRITE PROTECT SWITCH
(Other side)
The side you wish to use is inserted face up. Power must be on for the disk to be accepted as the
load mechanism is motorised.
Disk Activity Led
Eject switch
When the disk is in use (i.e. playing back, recording, saving, loading, etc.), the DISK ACTIVITY
LED will flash.
To eject the disk, press the DISK EJECT button. Power must be on for the disk to be ejected as
the mechanism is motorised.
NOTE: If there is some problem ejecting the disk and/or power is not applied to the drive, you
can eject the disk by inserting a small metal tool in the small hole alongside the disk eject
button. Something like a rolled out paper clip will do it but a special tool is recommended. This
tool may accompany the drive unit.
It is possible to write protect MO disks to prevent accidental erasure, editing, formatting, etc.. To
do this, slide the WRITE PROTECT switch to the PROTECT position. If you only intend to
playback from the disk, it is a wise precaution to write protect the disk to prevent accidental
damage to a project.
