Ejecting A Disk Cartridge - Sony RMO-S551 Bedienungsanleitung

Ejecting a Disk Cartridge

Eject the disk cartridge either by using software
commands or by pressing the EJECT button.
Note
Do not attempt to eject a disk cartridge while the
BUSY indicator is lit orange (except when it is
flashing at about 2-second intervals due to
overheating). Ejecting the disk while it is being
accessed may cause data write errors or may
result in loss of data.
Also, it may take a few moments (up to 45
seconds) for the disk to eject when the write
cache is enabled, because data in the cache must
first be written to the disk.
■ What to do if the disk does not
eject
The disk cartridge may not come out, even when
you press the EJECT button or use a software
command, under the following conditions:
• The eject function has been disabled using the
function switch or a software command;
• The host computer is not functioning properly;
• The disk unit has been turned off (due to a
power failure, etc.); or
• Something is wrong with your disk unit itself.
When you cannot eject the disk cartridge using
the EJECT button or software commands,
remove it as follows.
