gently press the disc onto the center spindle until it clicks into
place.

hole and edge. Do not touch the surface of the disc. Do not stack
discs. If you incorrectly handle the discs, you could lose data.

contact Toshiba support for assistance.
Playing optical media
If you insert an optical disc into the optical disc drive and the
Auto-Run feature does not automatically start your disc, try
launching the optical disc manually. To do this, follow these steps:
1
Press the (
) +
E
keys.
2
Double-click or touch the optical disc drive icon.
The drive will run the optical disc.
If your disc does not run using this method, try using an application
that is associated with the media on the disc. For example, if it is a
music CD, open Windows Media
®
Player and use it to select and
then play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated
software to open the files on the disc.

Play pre-recorded and recorded optical media.
❖
Read/write data and multi-media files to recordable optical
media.
