Manual Eject Overview

Eject Tool	Provided accessory for manual ejection
Disc Tray Mechanism	Internal components that release and extend the disc tray

When to Use Manual Eject

Manual ejection should only be used in specific circumstances when normal operation is not possible.

Power failure or outage preventing electronic operation
Electronic eject button malfunction
Disc stuck in player and won't eject normally
Player frozen or unresponsive to commands
Remote control battery failure with no access to front panel controls

WARNING! Only use manual eject when necessary. Repeated use may damage the ejection mechanism.

Step-by-Step Ejection Process

Follow these steps carefully to manually eject a disc from your LG DVD player.

Locate the manual eject pinhole on the front panel (usually marked "MANUAL EJECT")
Ensure the player is turned off and unplugged from power source
Straighten a paperclip or use the provided eject tool
Gently insert the tool into the pinhole until you feel resistance
Apply steady, gentle pressure until the disc tray releases
Carefully pull the tray open and remove the disc
Close the tray gently by hand until it clicks into place

CAUTION! Do not force the tool or apply excessive pressure to avoid damaging internal components.

Safety Precautions

Proper Tools: Use only recommended tools - never use sharp objects
Gentle Pressure: Apply minimal force needed to release the mechanism
Avoid Liquid: Keep all liquids away from the player during the process
