If external or battery power is not available:
1. Insert the end of a paper clip 1 into the release access in
the front bezel of the drive.
2. Press in gently until the tray is released, and then pull out
the tray 2.
3. Remove the disc 3 from the tray by gently pressing down on
the spindle while lifting the outer edges of the disc. Hold the
disc by the edges and avoid touching the flat surfaces.

If the tray is not fully accessible, tilt the disc carefully as you
remove it.
4. Close the media tray and place the disc in a protective case.
