Operating the Device

Disc Insertion and Ejection:

• To insert a disc, gently press the pop-up button on the front of the drive. The disc tray will open. Place the disc label-side up onto the tray. Gently push the tray back into the drive until it clicks.

The physical eject button on the drive will not function for ejection on Mac OS.
