As the drive begins reading the Table of Contents (TOC) data, the busy
indicator lights and remains illuminated until read is completed.
When the busy indicator switches off, the drive is ready to receive
commands, data may be retrieved from the disc. After loading a disc,
it takes a moment for the drive to become ready while Program Memory
Area is read. From this point, follow instructions provided with the
application software.
Note:
Busy indicator on drive continues to light amber if disc is not properly
inserted or a malfunction occurs.
In such a case, eject the disc (tray) and reinsert it properly. Should
the light remain amber, consult your dealer or qualified service point.
During audio play the busy indicator remains amber, this is normal.
