Using the Optical Drive
Optical discs and equipment must be handled with care because of the precise mechanics involved. Keep in mind the
important safety instructions from your disc suppliers. Unlike desktop optical drives, the Notebook PC uses a hub to hold
the disc in place regardless of the angle. When inserting a disc, it is important that the disc be pressed onto the center
hub or else the optical drive tray will scratch the disc.
WARNING! If the disc is not properly locked onto the center hub, the disc can be damaged when the tray
is closed. Always watch the disc closely while closing the tray slowly to prevent damage.
An optical drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a disc in the drive. After the disc is properly inserted,
data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be written to or changed on the disc. Using
the proper software, a CD-RW drive or DVD+CD-RW drive can allow CD-RW discs to be used like a hard drive with writing,
deleting, and editing capabilities.
Vibration is normal for high-speed optical drives due to unbalanced discs or prints. To decrease vibration, use the
Notebook PC on an even surface and do not place labels on the disc.
Listening to Audio CDs
The optical drives can play audio CDs, but only the DVD-ROM drive can play DVD audio. Insert the audio CD and Windows
automatically opens an audio player and begins playing. Depending on the DVD audio disc and installed software, it may
require that you open a DVD player to listen to DVD audio. You can adjust the volume using hotkeys or Windows speaker
icon on the taskbar.
