SECTION 1
6. Using the Optical Disk Drive
In this manual, CD-ROMs, audio CDs and CD-R/RW discs are collectively referred to as CDs,
and DVD-ROMs and DVD-Videos as DVDs. Also, CDs and DVDs are sometimes referred to
simply as discs.
Cautions in Using CD/DVDs
Take the following precautions when handling CDs and DVDs.
• Handle discs with care so that they are free from fingerprints, dust and flaws.
Fingerprints, dust and flaws on a disc could prevent information from being read from it or being
written/rewritten on it correctly. Also, they could prevent audio CDs and DVD-Videos from being
played back normally.
• Do not stick any label to a disc or do not write anything on it with a pencil or ballpoint pen.
• Be careful not to spill coffee or any other liquid on a disc.
• When a disc is dirty or wet, wipe it outward from the center with a slightly moistened cloth, and
then with a dry cloth.
Do not dry it with a hairdryer or do not let it dry itself.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, water, record cleaner, antistatic agent, or a silicone cloth to clean
discs.
• Keep discs in their cases whenever they are not in use.
• Do not bend a disc or do not put a heavy object on top of it.
• Do not keep discs in a hot or cold place.
CAUTION
INJURY
When inserting or removing a CD or DVD, be careful not to catch your finger in the tray
to avoid possible injury to your finger.
