Can I unplug my DVD ROM on my 2007 Odyssey Touring

Getting a disk read error whenever I start the Odyssey.  Don't really care to
use the NAV since it's a 2007 but I would like to be able to set the clock and
access the other features without that stupid message monopolizing the
screen.  It shows the disk read error for a few seconds and then the screen
shuts off completely.  I can't set the clock because it won't let me past that
screen.
