The compact disc is inserted directly into the drive. 1.1 RRD43 Controls and LEDs The front panel of the RRD43 compact disc drive contains the disc tray and has an eject button, a busy LED, and an emergency eject hole. Figure 1 shows the front panel of the RRD43 compact disc drive. Figure 1 RRD43 Compact Disc Drive Front Panel ! Disc tray. " Volume control and headphone socket--not used. # Busy LED--This LED turns on when data is read from the disc. It flashes during seek operations. $ Eject button--Press this button to eject the disc tray from the RRD43. % Emergency eject hole--Use the emergency eject hole to manually eject the disc tray if a power failure occurs (see Section 2). 1 1.2 Inserting a Compact Disc into the RRD43 Disc Drive To insert a disc in the RRD43, see Figure 2 and follow these steps. 1. Push the eject button inward to release the disc tray. The tray will eject part way out; pull the tray out manually to its full extention. 2. Pick up the disc by the edges; takng care not to touch the bottom (unlabelled) side of the disc with any part of your hand or fingers. 3. Insert the disc into the tray with the disc label facing upwards. 4. Push the disk tray back into the RRD43 until it is completely inserted and latched. 5. The busy LED stays on for a few seconds. When the busy LED goes off, the RRD43 can receive commands and you can read data from the compact disc. 2 Figure 2 Inserting a Disc in the RRD43 ! Eject button " Disc (hold by the side edge and set into place in the disc tray) # Disc tray (push in) $ Busy LED If the disc is upside-down, not properly inserted in the tray, or if other conditions prevent the RRD43 from reading the disc, the busy LED will blink, then stay on steadily. 3 1.3 Removing the Disc from the RRD43 To remove a disc from the RRD43, see Figure 3 and follow these steps. 1. Push the eject button inward to release the disc tray. The tray will eject part way out; pull the tray out manually to its full extention. 2.
