The Controls

Your CD-ROM drive has the following controls and features:
Disk tray
EJECT button
Emergency Eject
BUSY light
Headphones socket
Volume control.
The BUSY Light
When you put a disk into your CD-ROM drive, the busy light flashes slowly as it
attempts to locate a disk. It then indicates one of the following conditions:
1. The BUSY light goes out. The CD-ROM drive is ready to read data from the
disk.
2. The BUSY light flashes slowly. The disk may be dirty.
During data transfer the BUSY light remains on.
The EJECT Button
The eject button is used to open the disk tray so you can put in or take out a disk.
Make sure the eject inhibit switch (see page 8) is set to ON. If this jumper is set to OFF
the EJECT button will not operate. The drive then expects all control, including the
ability to eject the disk, to come from the computer.
Emergency Eject
If the power supply to the drive fails, you can still remove the disk from the drive. Next
to the eject button on the front of the drive is a small opening. Insert a pointed instrument
(a straightened paper clip is ideal) into the opening and the disk tray will open.
The Headphones Socket
The headphones socket is used to connect headphones to your CD-ROM drive.
However, it can also be used to connect the CD-ROM drive to other equipment. For
example, you could connect the drive to an audio amplifier or a cassette recorder.
The VOLUME Control
The volume control is used to control the level of the audio signal from the headphones
socket. The volume control does not affect the level of the signal sent to the audio output
on the back of the drives.
