Optical Disc Drive Care
To get the most from your optical disc drive, keep the following guidelines in mind.
Never forcibly pry open a drive whenever a disc gets stuck. The plastic tray is a relatively fragile and
vulnerable mechanism. Loading a CD off-centre is a common mistake that can jam the tray. If this
happens use the eject button, or the emergency eject hole (refer to the relevant
optical disc drive for
more information on these features). If that fails, ask for professional help.
Avoid excessive dirt and dust build-up on optical discs. Optical discs can tolerate accumulated dirt
and dust much better than floppy disks since CDs are not read by direct contact with the read lens.
Excessive dirt, however, will eventually affect the drive's performance. Thoroughly clean the discs
whenever necessary.
