PHILIPS FW-C290

Opening the CD Tray manually
1) Take a paper clip or any stiff wire diameter of 1mm -1.5mm and make a marking about 17mm from the tip.
2) Place the set in an upright position and insert the paper clip into the slot on the right side of the Cabinet Rear.
3) With the marking just outside the Cabinet Rear, you should be able to engage the gear on the side of the 3CDC-LC Module. Because of the distance between the gear and the Cabinet Rear the chance of the paper clip slipping above or below the gear is high, therefore you have to feel and adjust slightly to engage the gear correctly.
4) Push the gear slowly towards the front as shown until the Tray CDC starts to move out of the Front Cabinet. The Tray CDC is now disengage and can be pulled out completely
Note: If the Cabinet Rear has to be replaced, it has to be replaced by one that has a similar slot on the right side of the Cabinet otherwise there is no possibility to disassemble the same set in the future.
